18 weeks


How far along? 18 weeks.



Movement: The flutter/bubbles/vibrations are still pretty infrequent and weak. I love feeling the baby and can't wait for more regular moving.



What I miss: A fully stocked wardrobe. My new pants are awesome (!) but I feel so limited by what shirts are long enough to hide the elastic panel (yes, the one that fits from my hips to my ribs). This means one thing - more shopping!



What I'm looking forward to: Justin to be able to feel baby Skweres kick!


Best moment this week: Catching my reflection in a window at school and thinking "oh, she looks pregnant" ...but really I think it was because I had just eaten three pieces of pizza at a meeting. I just couldn't stop eating!




Weekly wisdom: Don't exhale on your way back up from bending down. At school on Friday I picked up a transparency that had fallen to the floor (a task that sadly is getting uncomfortable). As I straightened up, I exhaled and the sound ended up being louder and "gruntier" than I meant. Sweet student of mine decided to share this lovely tidbit:


"my grandma makes that sound when she leans over too"


Thanks honey. That makes me feel better.

You are too cute! I guess you won't know the sex of the baby in time for book club sunday. You must be so excited to find out.
