Don't forget to take the gender poll to the right!!
Today we are 18 weeks and 3 days! Time really is flying by! I'm finally starting to stress about the nursery, getting things cleaned out and just realizing we are going to have a baby in five months! However, we really aren't looking at furniture, paint, bedding, etc until we know the gender of Baby Leighow...we have looked a little but looking at everything without being able to narrow it down is a bit overwhelming for me. And those of you who know me, know that I am a planner so not being able to plan is pretty excruiating for me! LOL!
I've had some people requesting updates on some things...
CRAVINGS
I truly am an odd eater! I eat grape jelly in my mexican rice, drink skim milk with all meals at home, mix corn with cottage cheese, etc, so cravings for me have always been there since before I was with child! LOL! I was craving shrimp cocktail the other day so I bought a frozen package and ate almost all of it in one sitting and as I'm sitting here typing this, I realized I was craving shrimp scampi and popcorn shrimp the past few days so hubby took me to Red Lobster last night....hmmmm...maybe this shrimp obsession IS a craving!!!
HEALTH
Baby L and I are both doing well. I still haven't felt the baby move yet so we are anxiously awaiting that moment! We have a doctor's appointment Thursday for second trimester testing to make sure the baby is healthy. Please say a prayer that all turns out positive! Sleep has become spontaneous...I crash at night however, usually wake up in the middle of the night and lay there for a while before sleep surrounds me again! I get up so many times to go to the restroom throughout the night that Chloe won't even sleep with us anymore...she sleeps on the couch in the living room! She's a tad put out with me! LOL!
Carey has been reading to the baby almost every night! This is the book we read to him/her!
Here are pics of the last three weeks....
