Time for a Change

This is me today, and the shirt is a clue as to our news. We are having a girl this time!! Here she is:

Just for comparison, the bottom one is Wyatt when we found out he is a boy.

I love her little hand in the upper right corner. The ultrasound tech said everything looked good and was right on track. Now we finally get to give away our bins of boy clothes, and do some shopping! I normally don't like pink,  but I can't wait to buy a few cute girly outfits. Our next task is to decide on a name for her. We have a few options, just need to agree upon one.

How far along: 18 weeks, 6 days
Baby is the size of: a sweet potato
Weight: 162

Cravings: beef. I constantly want a hamburger or steak.

Comparison

 

I find it interesting to compare sometimes. The top picture is me, yesterday, at 17 weeks 6 days along. The bottom picture is me with Wyatt, at exactly the same 17 weeks 6 days.

The past few weeks everything has been going along smoothly. My appetite is ferocious, and I'm not sure how I haven't gained more weight yet. I AM sure that it's coming soon though.

We got a new baby, Lucy, as my Mother's Day gift.

 Other than some accidents, she is fitting into the family quite well. I am hoping she will be fairly calmed down, and fully trained, by the time this baby arrives.

We were on vacation all last week, and did lots of hiking trips through the White Mountains, and visited the New England Aquarium.I threw up once in the mountains, which was really random and bizarre, but immediately felt fine afterwards. I'm hoping that was the last time this pregnancy.

We have our ultrasound scheduled for May 30 to find out what we're having, so I cannot wait for these next 5 days to pass!!! If I haven't said it already, my gut feeling is girl, so we'll see....

How far along: 18 weeks
Baby is the size of: a sweet potato
Weight: 161

Cravings: pretty much anything I can get my hands on. My new favorite sweet treat is a graham cracker square with a Hershey's chocolate square on top (we were supposed to make s'mores but never had a fire)
