Belly update.



I can't believe my baby is the size a sweet potato already! I obviously haven't even had time to post belly pics but I had to and let me tell you, this baby is growing! And I want to remember what was happening when with this pregnancy. Of course, we know little about this sweet babe yet but are hoping to see this little one and find out more in the next month. I had only had one ob appointment in Thailand at 7 weeks. I am 18 weeks and feeling pretty good. I am really tired but I think thats just from moving across the world and readjusting to life! I have also had more nausea with this pregnancy than the others. That has mostly tapered off and since we've been back I haven't seemed to have any problems eating Bojangles :) I would say I've just had cravings for foods with intense flavors like hot sauce on lots of things, cheese and olives and vinegar potato chips. Felicity saw my belly the other day and said "wow mom! I can see your baby sticking out there!" and I overhear the boys telling their cousins that mom's baby is as big as a orange now. It's so sweet that they are so excited too. I am truly blessed to be pregnant with this little life and as things get more normal for us here I anticipate planning and preparing more for baby #4. I have already started a cloth diaper stash from craigslist and can't wait to see if we are looking out for a boy name or a girls this go around - naming is one of the funnest parts of pregnancy for me.

Here's the belly shots...
