18 Weeks

Baby Speights weights about half a pound this week and is roughly the size of a bell pepper!  We went to the doctor this week and everything with the baby looked good and sounded good.  I gained 7 pounds between my visit last month though and this visit--YIKES!  Hopefully that won't happen two times in a row, ha!  I'm blaming it on the fact that it was the holidays. :)  My doctor reassured me it was fine because I didn't gain much in the first trimester, but still.

This week I'm still feeling good, which I'm so thankful for.  I've been hungry all the time (which also might have something to do with the seven pounds...) but I've been just trying to make good food choices an keep running/walking every day. 

We've also started looking at baby furniture and nurseries and things of that nature this weekend, which has been so fun!  I think we're both antsy for the 28th to be here, so we can start really making plans for our sweet baby's arrival!

And, can you please be praying for two of our friends?  They were pregnant, due about 2 weeks before us, and found out this past week that their baby boy had a terminal birth defect.  I can't even imagine what they're going through right now.  I am just praying for God's comfort and peace that passes understanding for them.
