Pregnancy

Well, I have hit 18 weeks. I can't remember exactly, but I think the morning sickness finally went away between 18-20 weeks with Vincent. I think I was expecting to feel instantly nausea-free at 18 weeks. Not quite yet (although there has been some improvement)--I am still popping tums and zofran in order to eat and keep food down. The good news is I can eat again (see expanding belly below)! All of my cravings seem to be for junk food. Hey, I'm just giving the babe what it wants!

Anyway, I've started to notice some tiny movements from our little flutterbug. It brings back memories of feet, knees, elbows, etc., digging into my ribs and bladder! Despite those love nudges, I am actually looking forward to the second half of the pregnancy and more importantly, the end of the first half! 20 weeks will be here soon. We are so excited for the ultrasound and to find out the sex of the baby! Steve thinks it's another boy--I really have trouble guessing at all. Stay tuned for the results (and don't forget to enter YOUR guess in our baby poll--http://www.expectnet.com/games/BabyShalikow2 )!
