18 Weeks

How am I feeling?  I am feeling pretty good. I have been feeling the baby move a little. Once in a while I just feel like little pokes.  I have been having my daily afternoon headaches, some worse than others. Luckily i had lots of headaches as a child so I am pretty used to just dealing with it. I try not to take medicine if I can avoid it. I know they say it is safe but I figure it's still better to just not take it. 
 

Doctor’s Appointment? No Dr. appointment this week. Waiting 3 weeks didn't seem like it would be hard but I am finding myself getting impatient. I just like being told everything is going good. Next week I have an ultrasound and Dr. appointment. 

 

Weight Gain? Still only 2-3lbs. 

 

Baby Preparation? Nothing yet. I figure after we are past the 26ish week mark I will feel better about starting to get things together slowly. I have been starting to acquire things from people that are wanting to get rid of their baby stuff. Like my sister gave me a bunch of breast pump stuff. My goal for this week is to pick out baby names. I never thought it was important to do early on before but after we lost Zoey I was really glad that we had picked a name and I want to make sure that as soon as we know if it is a boy or a girl we have a name.
