18 Weeks, spring is here!







So this week was also busy, i got a lot done at work. Worked on some stuff around the house and was able to workout twice. it feels nice to get organized and do some outside work. our house is really starting to come together!
We are getting really anxious to find out the sex. Garage sale season was in full effect this weekend and it was very limiting to not know the sex when browsing at sales. We did find some books, some maternity clothes, and a hardly used crib mattress which we got for just 10 bucks! So that was exciting. We also sold a few things at a friends garage sale today which was really nice, ill have to sort through more stuff to hopefully sell this summer. Last weeks update was long, with lots of pictures so this week will be a short one. Things are still going well, i still feel good. and everything seems to be great with the nugget. Next check-up is on the 13th of may, just 8 days away!

Oh and im definitely starting to show! yay! Here is a close up brad took. Mind you this was also right after dinner, so in between meals i may not look quite as big but definitely getting there. :-)

Movement: Yeah definitely movement, it feel more like bubbles now that butterflies/flutters like it did before.
Gender prediction: We both really just want a healthy baby. I have no predictions anymore!
We call our baby: little monster, baby, NUGGET. A good friend at work started asking me how the nugget was doing and it stuck. We constantly refer to baby as nugget now. Its pretty cute..
