A little late but...18 weeks!

Best moment this week: Narrowing down the search for crib bedding! I have had a site bookmarked for years that I was going to have it custom made from. I wanted lots of different fabric and patterns. Well, now that the time is here I have changed my mind completely. A lot of the nursery is going to be neutral. White, cream, and tan....with either pale pink or pale blue thrown in!!! There will still be some different patterns and texture though!

Movement: Not yet. Thinking about it makes me so excited! I can't wait!

Sleep: I'm still sleeping just fine. I go to bed early, but wake up early. Matt says I toss and turn all night, but never wake up! Sorry hubs!!!

Cravings: Still fruit. And orange juice. Although I've made myself stop drinking as much juice.

Sickness: So last week I said all those things about feeling great and not wanting to catch anything. This week...first week back from winter break...my brand new support teacher left school early with a horrible stomach bug. And my student teacher missed practically her entire first week of student teaching because she has the flu. Of course she didn't know she had it and tried to come back to school in the middle of being sick. I coat my skin with hand sanitizer all day long!

Other symptoms: Not a symtom but I think I'm going to have to buy some maternity jeans soon. Mine are beginning to feel a little uncomfortable. My dress pants still fit fine thankfully. Dresses and leggings are my favorites!

Gender: My friend gave me a Kelly's Kids magazine to browse through at work and I felt like I was looking at boys clothes mostly. That makes me think boy. BUT I still go back and forth and really don't know. We have our boy name set in stone and have no girl name other than it will be a double name. Several other people have given their gender opinions: Carmen thinks girl, Miranda says boy, Stacy says girl, Mandy says girl and calls it a she all the time without thinking, Brooke wants me to have a boy, Katie said she had a dream that it was a boy, Laura Ann says boy because I'm craving fruit, Abigail said boy. AnnaBeth, Billy, and Mama are riding the fence. :)

Looking forward to: Checking on our baby to make sure it is healthy and growing. I'm super nervous!
