18 Weeks and It's A.........

Boy!!!
We're having another sweet baby boy. Isaac was convinced we were having a girl. And when we took a peak on Mon, I thought it was a girl too, but got a good look today and saw that it was definitely a boy.
For now, the name is Judah, but we don't have a middle name. We have it narrowed down, but luckily we have plenty of time.
How far along: 18 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: Last appt, we, the total gain was 3 lbs.
Maternity clothes: For the most part, I'm in all maternity and was super excited that Motherhood at Macy's was having a wonderful sale this week!
Stretch marks: None so far.
Best moment this week: Watching Curtis with my parents and finding out this sweet Little Bug is a boy.
Miss anything: I actually miss salads. I just do not have a taste at all for anything green, but I miss healthy stuff.
Movement: I think I've felt a few kicks, but nothing consistent yet. 
Food cravings: I've craved wings lately. Isaac was so sweet to take me Buffalo Wild Wings last week so I could fulfill that.
Anything making you queasy or sick: Dog food and cleaning out the fridge.
Have you started to show yet: Oh yes, and people in public are asking about it so I must really be showing.
Gender: He's a BOY!!!
Labor Signs: None 
Symptoms: I still get headaches pretty often and some nausea and vomitting. But most days I feel pretty good.
Belly button in or out: In but probably not for long..
Wedding rings on or off: on
Happy or Moody most of the time: I've been pretty happy most of the time. Especially now that I'm feeling better
Looking forward to: Going to Colorado and seeing all of our family and watching Curtis with them :)

18 weeks and Christmas Pictures

So we had our anatomy ultrasound today and found out what we're having. We're waiting to share with everyone until we see Isaac's family later this week, so we'll announce then what we're having :)

So other than gender, baby stuff is going well. I am finally feeling better, for the most part. I've still been throwing up, but it's not an entire day thing anymore. I can eat normal food again, drink coffee, which is incredibly important. I missed my coffee. I have my energy back. I've been able to go for walks with Curtis and Baxter. Pretty much, as much as a pregnant person can feel, I feel back to my old self.
This past week, my parents came to visit which was so fun. I love watching Curtis with our family. It didn't take him very long to warm up to them, thankfully and when he did it was so cute. He had fun entertaining mom with falling into the couch and trying to walk. Dad loved rocking Curtis in Grandma's chair, so much that he rocked him to sleep, more than once. It always makes my heart happy to see Curtis with our family. Which makes me look forward to tomorrow and the next week when we get to introduce Curtis to all of Isaac's siblings. It will be so fun watching him with his cousin's seeing him with his Aunts and Uncles and seeing him have so much fun with Nana and Nono. 
Since we're not announcing the gender of Little Bug today, here's a few Christmas pictures of Curtis. These may be some of my favorite's that I've taken.
