Tomorrow. We find out if we’re having a boy or a girl at 3pm TOMORROW. Of course I finally got a call for work and I’m sure it will be the longest day EVER. I also have to drink an obscene amount of water and not pee. I may be dancing through my last period class… haha! Stay tuned. :)

I just realized that my last post was my 18 Week update, and I just want to be clear about something: it is absolutely not my intention to turn this into a baby-mania blog. Obviously now that there is a wee one growing in my belly I will be a little more baby-centered than I have been in the past, but I don’t want to become that person that only talks about baby stuff. It’s just been a crazy week. I actually had every intention of writing something about 9/11 yesterday, but then… I just didn’t want to go there. It affected me, but not in a personal way like…

(Please excuse my little house shoes–it’s so cold here today!) How Far Along: 18 Weeks* Size of Baby: Sweet Potato Weight Gain: 5 pounds Movement: Nothing yet! Cravings: Still nothing weird or exciting. Sugar is more appetizing to me again, and I often want something salty like chips or crackers. Food Aversions: Nothing to report this week. :) Symptoms: Still having some headaches, and Saturday brought on the worst one I’ve had yet.

My hips are still sore from time to time, but I haven’t noticed them…

When I first announced that I was pregnant almost a month ago, I promised that I would write a post explaining why we waited so long to tell everyone. And I did. …but I didn’t post it. The first three months of my pregnancy were… hard. I was physically exhausted and dealing with bouts of nausea, but I was also on a bit of an emotional roller coaster.  I’m sure the raging hormones contributed to the way I was feeling, but it was also like the weight of 6 years worth of the “When are you going to have a baby?!?” questions we’ve received from friends and family suddenly rested…

Hi dears. :) I know I’ve been a little absent of late. I traveled to the Great White North and promised to write every day… …and then read all seven Harry Potter books in three weeks instead. (I’m not an addict, I just like to finish a series once I start. More on this soon.) Things have also been a little busy around here. The Hubster is still hard at work building our beautiful new deck. He had a glorious reunion weekend with some high school friends, then his Dad came out for an unexpected visit. I’ve been reading Harry Potter night and day, and I am growing some beautiful…
