18 weeks



I'm a little late on this week's post...but here it is. I'm 18 weeks pregnant, and the baby is now the size of a large baking potato and weighs about 7 oz. I should be feeling kicks any time now, though I haven't felt anything yet. My book says to drink a large glass of cold orange juice and lie down. I'll try that and report back if I feel anything!

As for me, I'm getting bigger, I definitely have a baby bump, and I've gained about 8 pounds now. Fortunately it's all in my belly. I think I feel more energy, although between the cold I have been recovering from, and late nights because of hockey and baseball games, it's hard to tell. And, I'm having a hard time deciding when to start wearing maternity clothes...I have some, and my clothes still fit, but only certain pants, and I don't know if I'm stretching my shirts out, but I still feel a little small to be wearing maternity....hmmm...

In sports news, the Tigers suck, the Pistons REALLY suck, and hopefully the Red Wings win the Stanley Cup tonight to make everything feel a little better around the Murray household and the whole Detroit area.

You don't need maternity clothes unless you really want to wear them. I hope you feel some kicks soon :)
