Week 18

The weeks are just flying by.

Well, I haven't felt any new movements but during my last doctor's appointment the heartbeat (145) was a  little tricky to find due to our little one that wouldn't stop moving...why am I not surprised!   Our little girl/boy is beginning to hear my voice and some noises.  They say to begin singing to your baby or reading books. We read almost daily, when I read with my kids in the classroom. I don't sing, but I do yell.  I yell at the t.v. every Saturday when the Aggies play.  I yell at Maui when I come home when I find that she came across something she should't have. That works, right?


We are beginning to get our baby room ready! This past weekend we picked out our crib.  It will arrive  in about a month.  That gives me about a month to start cleaning out junk.

We have begun receiving gifts.  I'm in love with all the cute stuff.

I've seen this done and I decided to write one too!
