18 weeks

Last night I felt the baby kick me in the hand, twice. I've felt him or her moving around in there for about a week now (every now and then) but last night the little thumper was just moving around like crazy and I laid with my hand on my stomach just feeling them move around. Amazing.

I just feel like this is something I'm going to want to remember:)

Next maybe Trey will be able to feel a little kick!

Trimester 2

I know I am the most horrible blogger. Especially now that I have something to blog about! I love reading pregnancy blogs but for some reason I have been having the hardest time blogging during this pregnancy!

I am now 16 (17 in two days) weeks along. So far the the second trimester has been a huge, HUGE improvement on the first. While I wouldn't say that my nausea has completely gone away, it is now at a minimum and I couldn't be happier. I stopped taking my nausea medicine as well which makes me so happy as I am not a big medicine taker.

I did have an incident (on the very first day of my second trimester no less) with an atypical migraine that put me in the hospital. THAT was not fun especially when you consider that I've never had a migraine or been hospitalized before. I also had a CAT scan, an MRI and an MRA. All new experiences here in La La land!

Since then, though, things have been going really well. I'm even starting to get my energy back! Things are going so well, in fact, that I have decided to go back to school in the fall and try and finish my Associates before the baby comes. O and we are entering house-buying phase. Ya, I don't like to do things the easy way (apparently).

Other than that, there is really not much to tell. I have gained 2 pounds so far, don't seem to have any cravings (although I do eat a lot of cheezit's)(and feel like I'm constantly thirsty), and I seem to get headaches more frequently than usual (but no more migraines so far, thank God!) We ARE planning on finding out the sex of the baby, but for now we are not announcing when we will be finding out. I want to reserve the right to keep that between me and Trey for a few days if I feel like it ;)

All for now, I will try and post more often as things are finally starting to get exciting :)
