I have been feeling C move almost everyday now. Mostly at night. It is the oddest feeling in the world and very hard to describe. It's kinda like when you are really nervous and your stomach is turning. All I can do is laugh. Laugh from the weirdness of a human growing inside me and the odd feeling it gives me. Last night he was moving after P started talking to him. By "talking" I mean P getting close to my belly after asking him 200 times to do it and saying something like "hey". Not much of a talker, that husband of mine. I say good morning to him almost everyday and try to talk to him when I remember. Apparently, his hearing organs are all formed and he can hear my heart, my voice, my intestines working away and very loud noises. The books I have say that he may even get startled at loud noises. 134 days to go!
We finally got Invisible Fence installed! 10 days of training and T will be outside 24/7! No more hair EVERYWHERE all the time! He is going to be in for a very big shock in 8 days...

I'm sick of it.
I'm so sick of this one person at work telling me what I'm not going to be able to do when C is born. Listen, I understand that my life is about to change but that doesn't mean I can't have a life of my own. I understand that for months after he is born that it will be feedings, diaper changes and crying and feedings and diaper changes and...well you get the idea. I understand that it will be about him and not P and I anymore. But yes, P and I can still do fun things together.
For instance, I was playing a game on my phone during some downtime at work. She comes over to me and asks what I was doing. I said I was playing a game. She then said, "no more games for you when you have that baby." Seriously? I'm only playing a friggen game? So, her and another guy, who doesn't have kids, gang up on me. They start telling me all the things I will never be able to do again. Like concerts and the midnight Twilight premieres. I was starting to get pissed and I said that is what babysitters are for. They said, "oh you won't trust anyone to watch him." Yeah, I think I trust my BFF's who have 3 kids each and my sisters whom have 5 kids between them, and a grandchild. I think they know how to watch a baby.
P and I waited to have a kid until later on in life for these reasons: we wanted to have fun partying and not have to worry about a child at home. We wanted to have hangovers and not worry about getting up early to take care of a kid. We wanted to stay out late at night and not worry about getting home so a babysitter can go home. If we wanted to go to a movie at 10 at night or go to Shreveport on a whim, we could go without having to find a babysitter. We wanted to spend all the money we earn on us and no one else. We wanted to spend our first married years being married and not being parents. We knew that we were too immature to have kids until now.
We know that we don't have as much freedom as we have had our entire lives and we are okay with that. We are prepared to have our world revolve around C and that is exactaly how we want it to be. But, in order to stay sane we will have time for ourselves.

18weeks 4days
We had another sonogram today. C weighs a whole 9oz and his little belly is only approx. 6 inches around. Little tiny baby. My uterus is up to my belly button and I can feel it when I push on my belly. The sonographer said that there seems to be plenty of fluid in my uterus and all the parts she could see seemed like they were forming ok. I have another sonogram in a month to see all the parts that she couldn't see very well today. I thank God for him and pray everyday that he is born happy and healthy.
I have been feeling my heart beating really strongly from time to time and Dr. D says it's because I have and increased blood volume and therefore and increased cardiac output. She said don't be surprised if I start to feel it in my ears and face. It's a really weird feeling to have!
P and I attempted to put together the baby's bookshelf today but so many of the parts were damaged. It would be ok because most of the parts aren't visable but one of the major parts is all dented and crappy looking from shipping. I was so bummed because I was ready to have it put up. I hope the crib isn't the same way.

Team Work!
P and I put together the baby dresser yesterday. Well he mostly put it together as I painted owl pictures for the nursery. I really enjoy spending time with him. When I am off and he is at work I am so bored and I miss him like cRaZy. I can't wait for the rest of the furniture to get here!
I am so excited that I get to custom make everything, except for the furniture of course, for C's room. I have made two pictures, painted his name lettering and I will be making a lampshade. I can't wait for P's mom to do all the bedding and valance.
I am 18 weeks today, almost halfway done! I am starting to feel like my belly is growing. It's harder for me to tell since I already have so much fat! I have been eating pretty healthy since I found out I was pregnant. 3 square meals a day and 1 or 2 snacks a day. Did you know when you are pregnant you only need an extra 300 calories a day? I hadn't had a Coke until about a month ago when I started having pregnancy migraines and Dr. D told me to drink a Coke when it starts. I feel guilty everytime I do though so I only do it when the headache is unbearable. Thank goodness the headaches are kinda going away.
What's that? You want to see my artwork? Here ya go!

Wedding Day
Today my oldest sister K had her dream wedding. She was the most beautiful I have ever seen her in my entire life. As I type her and her new husband are waiting at the airport to board a plane to go on their honeymoon. It was so stressful to me and it reminded me why P and I went to Vegas! Everything went off without a hitch and it was amazing! The lemon flavored cake was the bomb!
What made this day even better is we got one of four parts of our baby furniture! Now we get to start putting the nursery together! P's mom insists on making all the other stuff for the room. I'm so excited!
