Today I am 18 weeks. It is a good feeling to know that I am getting closer to the half way mark.
I had a great checkup this week, but I am counting down the days until Tuesday the 15th. That is the day that we will finally found out if this baby is a girl or a boy... finally.
All of the cravings are gone and I'm not taking a nap everyday...maybe every other day. I have also have had enough energy to get back to the gym. I'm not doing any serious working out, but I am walking on the treadmill. If I can get there 3 days a week I will be happy. I'm sure this has to be better than the nothing I did for the first 17 wks.
About the bump... I wasn't planning on taking pics or posting them for the world to see, but I didn't with my first pregnancy and I think I will enjoy looking back on this. Let me clarify and say that I love to see baby bump pics, but I am much heavier than I had planned to be before I had a bump. I've decided that this will also serve as motivation to not gain more weight than I need to, and then work hard to get the weight off this time after the baby arrives ... for good.
I'll let you know some time Tuesday if it is a girl or a boy.
