Week 18!

Week 18 is upon us! So hard to believe we are rounding the corner of being half way done with this adventure and preparing to start a whole new chapter but here we sit just a couple weeks shy of our half way point. I am so excited for Thursday cause we will get to see the little one in the "growth" ultrasound and hopefully, if he/she is willing to participate we will find out if we are having a rugged little boy or a sweet little girl.

I *think* I've started feeling baby randomly since Friday, just random jabs or swirly feelings in my stomach for brief moments every now and then. I can officially NOT sleep on my back anymore, even if I was allowed to, the pressure on my tailbone injury is so severe it sends shooting pain up my back when I even attempt to lay on my back for even just a moment. So sleeping on my side is becoming the norm and although I wake up with a slight limp I walk it off by the time I am heading off to work. I can only imagine how much more difficult it will be in the coming weeks!
