I'm posting a day early but it's going to be a busy weekend in Utah alone. Grandma Anderton passed away and will be with family.
My baby this week is 5 1/2 inches and 7 ounces! I can't believe I'm already at 18 weeks!
I've been feeling great! I love that I have energy & I'm not sick. I do find that I'm more hungry but I try to choose good meals and not junk calories. So far to this point I've only gained 11 pounds. I've tried so hard to eat good options for me & the baby. I do splurge a little bit but I don't go overboard. I do find that I crave mostly salty foods so I think that helps too. I've also been doing my Jane Fonda work out video. It's only 20 minutes and my goal is 5-6 times a week. I notice when I do it, I have more energy and feel great so it's worth the time & effort.
I haven't really felt the baby. Every once in a while I'll feel something tiny that I'm pretty sure is the baby, but no for sure kicks or nudges. I also do check his/her heart beat still and I love hearing it! I've gotten good at finding it pretty quickly.
Names are a touch subject at this point. When you aren't pregnant or it's not your own, it's fun. I find it stressful! For a boy at this point we like: Aiden, Caison, Drew, Isak, Wesley-although I like Weston better, Bodey, Camden. For middle names if it goes well I think it'll be Reid. Craig loves the name and would do for his first name, but I like better for a middle name. Obviously we know all my middle names are a meaning-so this is named after Aimee & Kyle and their family <3 Other options if they don't flow is Joseph? Larry? Haven't talked too much about it.
For a girl the only name we like-but I don't love is Brynnley. Who knows the middle name? Maybe Leigh or Jo? I mostly want to take a baby name break until mid-January when we find out the sex. Yay!
