18 Weeks Pregnant!

Holy appetite! I'm not kidding... I could really eat ALL day. I'm trying to be good, but right now, I want breakfast biscuits and peanut butter sandwiches and cheesy pasta... Fortunately, I'm also enjoying salad, but I could eat a HUGE one right now (and I just had a peanut butter sandwich folks).

In baby news, I'm feeling him/her move almost hourly, which is helping my neurotic side relax a tad. I'm really enjoying being pregnant now that I can tell the baby is doing well in there. And people at work are starting to ask (brave souls) because my belly is rounding out a lot.

Also, GREAT news from Dr. B's office.  My second trimester screen (also known as the AFP, but don't ask me what that stands-for) showed no increased risk of open neural defects (i.e. spina bifida). Now that we've passed all the screening hurdles, I'm even more excited - if that's possible.

BTW, side note... June babies are everywhere! I can't even count how many friends/co-workers/acquaintances are expecting in June.  September was a romantic (or perhaps intoxicated) month ;).
