Week 18

I woke up last Wednesday, the first day of the 5th month of my pregnancy, and it seemed as if my belly had popped out overnight! She's really starting to grow now. That was the first day complete strangers started noticing and asking me when I was due. I guess I've started to walk like a pregnant lady too. :)

Saturday afternoon I got home and a suprise package was waiting on our doorstep. It was from Brett's sister Karen in Texas. We opened it to find 3 HUGE boxes of baby clothes. Karen has two boys and said in her letter that she never got to fulfill her fashion fetish and was so excited we were having a girl so she could do that! Altogheter there were 25 brand new outfits in these boxes, ranging in size from newborn all the way up to 24 months. Our daughter is going to look good! We had a lot of fun at our first "mini baby shower."

I still don't think I've really felt the baby move yet. Sometimes I think it might be her moving around in there, but I'm still not sure. I just want to feel one single kick where I'm certain that's her moving. I read sometimes it doesn't happen till about Week 20 so I still have some time, but I'm anxious to have that milestone of pregnancy.













17 weeks (4 months)












The day I hit 5 months (18 weeks)

Brett is shocked at the amount of clothes we got!

"Good thing I bought extra hangers!"















Is Brett starting to like pink after all? Or just a proud dad?
