It's so hard not to go crazy and buy everything you see so I must admit I've given in a little. They make some adorable baby boy clothes and Target had a ton of things on clearance the other day so baby boy got about 10 outfits for around 15.00. I love a good bargain :o) It was all different sized stuff, too. That way hopefully he'll have a chance to wear it all!
Out appointment Monday went well and here are some pictures of baby boy (unfortunately he was sleeping and curled up with his legs tucked up underneath him so Andy didn't get to see too much movement. It was amazing being able to see parts or his brain, his heart beat out of his chest, and even his lips, nose, and muscles!
Below you can kind of make out a face. Definitely can see where his eyes are and I think he is pointing at you!
We know he is going to be a strong baby. The athlete idea still stands. Here he is making a muscle (the arrow is pointing to his bicep...cute isn't it?).
And here are more pictures of his arms...
Anyway, here is a belly pic at 18 weeks followed by a questionnaire I found on another blog. I'm thinking I'll try to do it at least every other week until it gets boring ;o)
There might be a bit of a belly there. We were concerned because I haven't gained any weight yet but the doctor reassured us that a baby is a great parasite and will take what it needs. As long as I'm eating and now getting sick then baby boy is just fine!
I think putting my hand there helps make it look like more of a bump :o)
How far along? 18 weeks

Other ramblings for the week:
-Andy is pretty much doing only his job now which I think is allowing him to come home at a more decent time. So thankful for that! Plus, I think he is really enjoying it which is such a blessing :o)
-We've had really bad thunderstorms lately, yesterday I got home to find pieces of our roof on the ground. Now we need a new roof...
-I have to get a root canal tomorrow. Ridiculous! Glad baby boy showed me that he was strong. Hopefully he doesn't come out addicted to all sorts of medications!
-Thank you sweet Momma Cely for sending Andy, baby boy and I some fun things this weekend. It's always fun to get packages and to go out matching your spouse ;o)
Alright, I think that's it for now. Sorry if I bored you!

Yay! Lincoln will have a friend :) And I didn't start gaining weight until I was around 26 weeks-ish.... and then I caught up fast! Still in the healthy range, but it was just late. I know I REALLY wanted to be showing at 18 weeks, so I also want you to know that you do have a cute baby bump :)
