18 weeks and I felt baby girl kicking!

I  just felt our little girl kicking!  I sneezed and I guess she didn't like that cause she started kicking.  I put my hand on my belly and felt it :)  Instantly put a smile on my face <3

Our baby is about 5 1/2 inches long weighs almost 7 ounces. Baby's busy flexing her arms and legs, passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. Blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and her ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from her head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. Baby girl's uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place.

Baby Names

Naming a baby is harder than you think.  We didn't have Matthew's name until a few weeks before his birth.  So, the baby name game has begun.  Leave a comment on this post to suggest some names for our little girl :)

Thanks!

17 Weeks!

Our little girl is about the size of my palm, weighs about five ounces, and is developing some body fat.  Her heart is now regulated by her brain (no more random beats) to beat 140 to 150 times per minute — about twice as fast as yours! What else is up? She’s practicing the survival skills she’ll need at birth — like sucking and swallowing.  So exciting!

I'm feeling pretty good.  Still tired, but nausea is gone.  Still going to be no later than 10pm.  My face is breaking out and I have horrible bags under my eyes.  This little lady is draining me, but she can do whatever she wants :)  Take it all baby...it's all yours!  xoxo

Time to Decorate

I already know what I'm going with my son's room.  Going to make into Andy's room from Toy Story.  I found wall paper that is exactly what I'm looking for, but not sure if I want to hang wallpaper, but the stars are going to take forever to paint.  I'll see.

As for our little girls room.  Here is my inspiration board :)

Going this weekend to look for paint and to buy bins to pack up the guest room.

IT'S A GIRL!

I can't believe it!  We're actually having a girl.  I thought for a second that we would have a girl, but then kept convincing myself it was a boy.  Well, happy surprise :)

So much to do.  I have to transform the nursery into a girls nursery and transform the guest bedroom into my son's bedroom.  Also have to go look for new furniture for my son's room.  He should be in a toddler bed by the time our little girl comes.  Hopefully.  I'm not looking forward to that transition.  We also have to try potty training again. 

Can't wait!

Sick :(

I'm so sick :( it started off as allergies and now has developed into a sinus infection and Bronchitis. This is terrible. I'm able to take Azithromycin, but I hate that I have to take it. I didn't want to have to take any kind of medication while pregnant. I checked baby's heartbeat last night...nice and strong, so that made me feel better. All the coughing had me nervous. Every time I cough hard or have a coughing attack, I feel a cramp down in my uterus. Mornings are always the worst because of all the build up overnight. This better go away soon!

15 Weeks!

You're the size of an orange this week! :)  You're growing hair all over your body. So cute.  You're also 4 inches and about 2 ounces.  Heehee.

Names

So hubby and I talked about it and Tyler is the front runner if we have another boy.  Not sure about girl names.  We'll discuss it more when we know what we're having.

Massage

Friday I went for a prenatal massage and it was great. So relaxing. Last time I was six months when I started going. This time, almost four. Wow, almost four months already. See what happens when you have a busy life with a toddler. Time just flies by.

A few more days

A few more days until we find out what we're having. That's if baby cooperates. We'll see.

Also, I've been having some leg cramps that I didn't have the first time around. I guess every pregnancy IS different.
