18 Weeks

Hi baby!

18 weeks today...just now starting our 5th month together! You are nearly as big as a bell pepper, 5.5 inches and 7 ounces. You can feel and hear now. I have felt you a few more times over the last 2 weeks which is wonderful! Since you are still so little, what I feel is only a gentle movement. I'm looking forward to feeling you squirming around even more. <3

This is the month when we get to find out if you are a boy or girl! We will be revealing this to everyone but not when the appointment will be. I have NO poker face so if people know we've had the appointment, they'll probably get it out of me! :D SO, secret appointment date but we'll announce it before the end of the month.

Unfortunately my feet have been bothering me quite a bit lately. Trying to sit and put them up, but that proves to be difficult with your older brother running around! We got our Christmas tree at your grandparents' house and put it up right after Thanksgiving. Your big brother always says "turn on Christmas tree" if it isn't plugged in at all times. We are loving his enjoyment of the Christmas season this year and are excited for how it will all be different with you next year! Christmas is our absolute favorite time of the year!

Keep growing, moving, and kicking!
