Week 18

Now that we know we are having a girl, everything has become so much more real. I can actually use a name now instead of he/she/it/gummy bear/fetus...etc. I still slip up and call her by all the wrong names but, we know it's a SHE! 

Before my appointment last Tuesday, for the first time I felt a little flutter. It almost felt like a twitch in my uterus. I texted Zach right away telling him I thought I could feel our little one moving. I was so excited but still wasn't sure. Every once in a while though I can still feel it and I'm feeling pretty convinced its Anna.  When we saw her on the ultrasound screen she was moving like crazy, always wiggling that little body of hers. I'm convinced she is going to be an active little athlete now. My only symptoms now are feeling like eating all the time, feeling little wiggles and a stretching belly button. Seriously, it looks longer than normal and not nearly as deep... I think watching my body change is the most bizarre thing.

We are getting more excited every day and I could not be more grateful for such an easy pregnancy.

Happy Tuesday everyone!
