18 weeks!! almost half way there!!

Baby Cully is 18 weeks today (5/17/13)

How's momma feeling: GREAT! I can finally stay up until 10 p.m. again, and I have energy to cook dinner and do some dishes afterward.
Size of baby: Baby should be around 5 oz and little over 5 inches long.
Cravings: I've really been enjoying broccoli and ranch dressing together.
Aversions: Water is still hard for me on some days, so I flavor it with flavored packets. This helps A LOT, especially now that it is getting warmer out!
Sleep: Sleeping just fine. Toss and turn a little but still get a good night's rest. (grateful for this)
Exercise: Still going strong with Zumba, Turbo Jam, walking, and Rockin' Body. This baby is going to come out dancing. I have noticed that it feels a bit different when I'm standing and raise my knees; it's like I can feel something there (and there is something there!). I have also noticed that I don't have as much energy through the entire workout; sometimes I have to modify things a bit.
Clothes: I definitely am in maternity pants now. I tried putting on a pair of capris that I was still squeezing into for awhile, but I had to use a safety pin this time around. Maternity pants are just way more comfortable anyway! :) Wearing lots of dresses and skirts...normal ones as they still fit well and are comfortable.
Looking forward to: Finding out the gender in 2 weeks!
Something fun: Tom and I plan to go look at baby "things" this weekend, along with a trip to the Melting Pot:). Really looking forward to it!
Thank you, Lord, for: A healthy baby! TRULY! At our last appointment baby was great, and we got to hear the heartbeat again and a little move from him or her. I am really pregnant! Baby is really alive and well. What a true true blessing!
