18 Weeks

I swear it's not a beer belly!

It's a great week to be a fetus! So says my pregnancy book. I bet it's pretty dang cozy in there this week--probably still plenty of room to stretch developing limbs and practice swimming. It can also suck its thumb, make Jacob's ladder out of the umbilical cord, and hiccup!

This week has seen the appearance of swelling in my feet--probably due to the hot weather, among other things. It has also seen the discovery of frozen lemonade at Tim Horton's for $1, which doubles up on the lemon-and-cold-things remedy that have been working to soothe my sour stomach.

All in all, it's been a smooth week. I'm still not able to wean myself fully off the heavy duty nausea meds (I start throwing up after about 24 hours of being off them), but I have cut them WAY back and am feeling in generally good spirits. Next week is a big week because we will be finding out the gender! I already have quite a collection of girls', boys', AND neutral clothes accumulated, so I'm ready! And no, I don't particularly have a premonition of its gender anymore...
