18 Weeks

Not to much of a change happening this week. Brett and I go back to the doctor's office on Friday for a big scan that will show us how baby is developing. This will also be our visit where we find out the gender of the baby. However, Brett and I will not find out on Friday the gender, we have opted to find out on Saturday with our family and close friends. This may be one toughest things we do on Friday. I (we) will be so anxious!

One of the coolest things that happened for me this week was actually feeling a kick and seeing it! I have- BABY HAS- yet been able to show this to Brett. I will call him into the room and we will both just stare. I can feel baby rolling, so I tell Brett the general location to look, but no kicks, punches, elbows, head buts, rump bumps. Hopefully Brett will see soon!

I am excited for Brett to come to this appointment, because he has not come to any of the others. Each appointment has been during the school day, so he has not made it. He has yet to hear the heartbeat or see baby do karate in my belly! I hope we can film some of the appointment!
