18 Weeks


My "bump" is slowly growing! I officially cannot button any of my pants and can't wear some of my jeans at all. My weight gain has stayed at 8-10 lbs. for the past couple of weeks, but it feels like I've gained twice that when I try to fit into another pair of pants.
I can also say that I feel the baby move around ALOT! At first, it was just when I was laying down and would concentrate on feeling it; but, now I feel it almost all the time - even when I'm up and doing things. It still catches me off-gaurd sometimes when it's a strong movement and I try to catch Will when it's happening, but he hasn't been able to feel anything yet.
I'm continuing to feel fine and have no complaints. My dreams are a little strange sometimes and very vivid, but I've read that it's a common thing to happen. I've also been continuing to read my baby books and get the "update" each week on the baby's growth. As of right now, the baby is about 5 1/2" long and weights 5-6oz. We only have one week until we get to see it again and find out what the sex is! I'm continuing to pray that everything is good and that the baby is healthy!
We are approaching our last busy weekend for October (thank goodness!) and will be heading up north to Maryland to see Will's family next week. It's going to be a nice, much-needed break! This past weekend we just worked, but we were able to take Sun. and Mon. off away from the shop, which was nice. The one good thing about our busy month is all the different cakes we've been able to make - here's a few from this past weekend:
