18 Week Belly Bump


Our wireless network has been "under construction" for a few days, so I haven't been posting much, but I'm hoping the problem is solved and we are back into the internet world! Today ends the 18th week and begins the 19th week! Everything seems to be progressing well.... My migraines are gone, but now the congestion and nose bleeds have started... seems there is always something EXCITING to experience! Overall this is considered the "honeymoon" stage of pregnancy and I'd have to say these last few weeks have been the best physically since I got pregnant. I'm getting alot accomplished with the thought of a near bed rest (though I don't feel I need it:) One of the odd things I experience now is the amount of blood flow going through my heart... apparently it's tripled .... and I can literally hear and feel almost every pulse! It's a very odd feeling, but I guess good in the sense of knowing the boys are getting the blood flow they need.

Like I posted earlier, Tues is my first Peri appt and I'm both excited and nervous. I don't recall ever having a level 2 ultrasound with Keller or Saylor.... they did a more indepth u/s, but not a true Level 2. I'm assuming it could last over 2 hours. I'm praying for a good "healthy" outcome, but regardless of the outcome, we accept whatever God has in store for our family, knowing He knows what is best for us, and our boys.

The kids are excited for a kid expo craft day .. they will be making pumpkins and going trick or treating at the local stores on Saturday afternoon! I just hope it cools down long enough to feel like "fall" here! Sometimes (once in a while, not often) I miss OHIO and the seasons I experienced growing up!
