18 Weeks

"God has poured out his love into our hearts." Romans 5:5

Almost half way there! I'm getting eager and nervous to find out the sex. Only 1 more week to go for that. So who thinks boy? Girl? At this point in time, nausea has subsided. Fingers crossed it remains gone. Who'd of thought I'd be happy to just be exhausted?
Our little sweetum is the size of a large mango and around 6 inches long. It's hard to imagine a half of a ruler taking up so much space, but trust me, it's in there. I also think I've been feeling some movement but still unsure so haven't claimed it yet. With the arms and legs fully proportioned its sure to be kicking and stretching around. Stay tuned for the official confirmation of movements felt. Dad's Point of View:
Feeling excited and anxious. And preferably 10 eyes ;)
My little precious, I am so thankful God has poured His love into my heart and life. I am in eager anticipation to see your face. You are so loved already. Can you believe at 18 weeks you are so loved? Looking forward to seeing you in perfect time.

16 weeks

I thought things were looking up for a week there. But just these past few days the nausea seemed to be in full force. Yay! ;)
Cravings come minute by minute and will either leave just as quick or hang on for a few days.
Side effects: Chapped lips. I know it's not because I'm dehydrated. I'm drinking plenty of water, as my numerous trips to the restroom can attest to. Crazy strong nails. Well, toe nails that is. I'm not really sure why my finger nails aren't growing as quickly or as strong as my toes.
The baby is able to hear me speak now. I'm happy to know this as I've been talking to it and glad I'm not just talking to myself. ;)

Lord,
Continue to be with my lil peanut. Thank you for growing it into a healthy lil human. Hold strong to it's heart strings so even when they are born and grown they will know your tugs.
