Pregnancy Update: 18 weeks!

Happy Monday from Molly and Biscuit - 18 Weeks!

My pregnancy expectations: 
  • Weekly belly pictures, taken in the same location and pose each week.
  • Monthly blog updates, complete with said pictures
  • Weekly journal updates on my trusty pregnancy app, recording current weight and documenting above-mentioned picture
  • Flying pigs and unicorns?!? 

Pregnancy actuality:

Life goes on! And life is busy! So here is my very first pregnancy blog, complete with the only 2 bump pictures I've taken, both selfies in front of the bathroom mirror because I had to just take them by myself when I was thinking of it. The only time I open my pregnancy app is to read the weekly update. And really, sometimes I read the week before and current week at the same time! I am having a blast preparing for parenthood, but it has kept me extra busy! This is life, and I wouldn't have it any other way! 

The basics and where we are now:

We are due at the very end of February and hoping baby does not make a Feb 29th appearance. Biscuit (as we lovingly refer to our little one) is currently about 18 and a half weeks, and growing at an amazing rate! I feel like my bump is bigger every day, and it is time for maternity pants now. I just started feeling movement last week and Biscuit is kicking and dancing a lot already! It is an amazing feeling! I am eating a lot of pickles, but not on my ice cream. My next appointment is later this week, and includes our next ultrasound. YES, we will be finding out the sex of the baby, and YES we will share, probably sometime next week! :-) Brian is convinced Biscuit is a boy. I haven't had a real feeling one way or the other, but we will find out soon! The doctors say everything is going well so far - prayers are always appreciated that everything continues to go smoothly! 

Pictures:

Our first ultrasound - Biscuit was moving around like crazy despite only being an inch long!

The first day I noticed a true "bump" - This was at about 14 weeks
