18 weeks 1 days and I am a terrible Mama!

I cannot believe that I haven't posted since October 8th, I guess it was a hectic fall.  We are already (almost) at the halfway mark, where has the time gone?!

I am going to try to catch up on the last 7 weeks in one post.

Lets see, at 12 weeks, we had our NT or Ultrascreen which looks for markers for defects/downs etc and everything was 100% normal, you were a perfect little peanut with a HR of 164.  We also got to see you via sonogram, the first time since our 7 week appointment and it was amazing how you had changed from blob to baby.

With all the hysteria over the swine flu, I got the H1N1 vaccine, along with the regular flu vaccine and so far so good, no side effects from either!!

At about 12-15 weeks, I really started to show (hard to see with loose clothes) but I could see the difference and Daddy could too!

At 16 weeks, we saw the doctor again, you were looking perfect yet again.  HR of 147!  At this appointment, we scheduled our Level II or anatomy scan which will be on 12/16 ... two weeks from today.  At this appointment, we will have a detailed sonogram of all your bits and pieces.  We cant wait to see you again, we cant wait to find out if you are a Jack or a Grace...

OH YES, names!  We decided on Grace Elisabeth if you are pink and Jack Joseph if you areblue!  (I am still trying to convince Daddy to name you Grace Johanna or Grace Amelie if you are a girl!!)

At 16 weeks, I began to feel the earliest, tiny little flutters and now at 18 weeks, I can feel movement everyday.  You have even been kind enough to gift me with a few solid (still little) kicks both yesterday and today.  I guess its time to prepare for movement all day everyday (yay!!!)

KATE is having a Logan :)  We found out about 2 weeks ago and your due date was moved up to 5/4/10 so now you two are due less than a week apart, 6 days to be exact.  You can thank us later for planning so well, having you so close in age ha!

At 18 weeks, I haven't gained any weight (yet) which I am happy about, you are growing and developing perfectly and that's all that really matters (but lets try to keep it to 12 lbs huh?  please and thanks!)

Sophie is getting big, 11 weeks now, more precious with every passing day!

OK, picture recap!!
