18 weeks

Here we are in all our 18 week glory.....

At our appointment yesterday, heartbeat was in the 140's and total weight gain was just shy of 5 pounds. This baby enjoys cereal (specifically this week, ugh, dare I say it, Corn Pops), fruit, anything that could conceivably set your mouth on fire (rare as I am usually anti-spicy hot), Imos pizza (with sausage) and chips. And we finally, finally have some paranoia-reducing movement going on!!!! Holla! After weeks of fluttering, this babe is reassuring me with full-on gymnastics. Thank you! And my dear, dear friend heartburn has made her return.

My helper asked that I take a picture of her "without you in it mom" - so here is Ryan at 18 weeks.  18 weeks of what?  I don't know...perhaps 18 weeks since cleaning her room.
