Well, here I am at 18 weeks! I am feeling so good that sometimes it doesn't feel like I am even pregnant! It doesn't seem like these last few weeks that I have grown that much...stomach wise and I haven't really gained any more weight but people say they can tell now I am pregnant and not just "wonder" so I don't know. I am waiting for that POOF of a belly to happen so we shall see probably will happen when I hit more of the 20 week marker. I definetly needed a new bathing suit...thought I could wait til Chelan but I noticed my bottoms were a tad too small for my modest liking so I did go and get one. Hopefully it will be the only one I have to buy. I did have a headache for a couple of weeks that is why I skipped last week posting but the chiropractor fixed me right up so now I go twice a week. He helps relieve any type of back and neck pain and I haven't had a headache since! It is SOOOO nice! Since I have chronic migraines I really wish I would have visited him sooner! I am pretty sure I will be visiting him my entire pregnancy. It also is keeping my hips loose which will help me during delivery.
Tonight Colin and I tried a water fitness class. We did 30 minutes of the elliptical first then did the water fitness class and it compares to like a water aerobics where we are in a river with a current and we run, sprint, jog, do multiple leg, arm and ab exercises. Colin and I loved it and we definetly felt the burn which is sometimes hard to do when you are doing any type of water work out. We will be doing that more to keep the exercise going. In doing this it allows me to work out almost every day of the week and not feel like I am over doing it which is what cycling everyday was starting to make me feel like. FYI the water classes are not as easy as they look!
Baby Movement: I have been using the doppler pretty regularly just because I dont think I have felt the baby move but every once in awhile I wonder if that is what I am feeling. I haven't had anything regular movements they are pretty random so not sure. I am thinking when I go in for my ultrasound I can see if the movements that I may feel are actually the baby. I have heard that the baby could be facing inward so not kicking the outside of me but more inside towards my intestines so you dont really feel those movements much or the placenta could be between the baby and I so that definetly would block movements. Since I am able to hear the heatbeat it doesn't worry me.
Colin and I off for four days to go have our couple's getaway before this baby comes. Yes it is early but it was kind of the only time since camping season is starting soon. I can't wait however we haven't ever left Hunter for that long so not real sure what he will think or how he will act. Hopefully he will be good for Grandma and Grandpa! I can't wait to just soak in a tub, stroll around town without rushing in a store and SLEEP IN and not have to rush to leave the hotel cause we are staying there three nights! We might even get some "spa" time!
Here are some random bump pics...
