To recap the past 18 weeks... Jake and I found out we are expecting on September 28, 2008. What a night that was! Little did I know that our lives were about to change in a matter of minutes. I was honestly expecting to read "not pregnant." The moment I read "pregnant" I couldn't quite believe what I was looking at. Mommyhood had began. I was excited and nervous all at the same time. We had wanted a baby, we just weren't sure when it was going to happen. It finally did.
From about week 6 through week 12 I was really sick. The baby of course made it all worth it but it was definitely not fun. I didn't like not being able to feel the baby and not feeling pregnant in general. I just couldn't wait to feel and interact with my unborn child. Things have changed since then. I can't feel kicks yet but I can feel movement. Baby moves quite a bit during the day and I could swear I felt one kick the other night when I was talking about baby names with Jake and my mom. I was laughing so hard at something that was said and put my hand on my belly. It was quick and I only felt it on one finger but I'm sure it was a kick. I haven't felt anything like that since. I wish Jake could have felt it :(
I have had a few ultrasounds (four to be exact) and one scare with a screening test. However, everything looks great and baby is looking healthy and perfect ♥
Here are some of our ultrasound pictures :)

ReplyDeleteDoing a baby blog is such a good idea. It will be cool to look back at it in the future.
