18 weeks pregnant already!  This seems to really be flying by.  In all honesty, there are many days that I don’t feel pregnant at all.  And then some where I definitely know what is going on.  Baby is starting to move around a lot, and I feel those little movements multiple times a day.  That is the best part of pregnant I think!

I’ve been moving around way better than I could during Charlie’s pregnancy.  I’m not in pain all of the time.  I do randomly get horrible pain through my hips.  It was very bad after Charlie was born, and then hasn’t bothered me since.  Now, if I try to do too much, I tend to end up in pain.  I am working out and softball started this week and I can do those pain free which is a huge bonus.

When I’m cleaning up toys and constantly bending down, I can definitely tell there is a baby in there.  And tonight when the kids both sat on my lap, it was a bit more crowded than usual.

On the cuter than cute side, Charlie keeps lifting up my shirt and saying, “baby, baby” and then pretending to take a bite out of my belly and pretending to chew it.  It is really super funny to watch.

And speaking of baby, want to know what this one is up to?  At around 5 1/2 inches and 5 ounces, this kiddo is growing!  Baby is also learning yawning and hiccuping skills, as well as getting a unique set of fingerprints and toe prints.
