17/18 weeks!

Wahoo! Truckin' along with Finale. Things are going good and feeling good. Dr. warned me that with back to back pregnancies I'd more than likely have a good bit of ligament pain and hip/back pain about this time. Happy to report I can still sit on the ground and carry my side-kick 8 hours a day :)
 
See-a bump!
 
Energy keeps going up and up and I've even gotten into cleaning/organizing mode. Easy to do in most of the house, hard to do in Finale's room. Not knowing the gender has got us stumped a little on what to do to prepare the room. We're almost sure of paint color and our furniture arrangement though. Cait's crew bought a house and when they move out next month, we'll start painting.  Getting the room ready makes it really real! 5 months really isn't a long time, especially when the end result is a life-changing one!
 
 
Still growing the bump and pants are getting a little tight. Compared to needing maternity pants at 14 weeks last time, I'm doing remarkable in the weight gain category! haha. Only 10ish pounds so far. I was at 30lb gain at 20 weeks with Colin! No food aversions or big cravings...really liking soup and salads again, ice cream some too. Derek did an ultrasound this past week to check on things. Finale was swimming all around and having hiccups. Got a few shots though. Looking forward to our big anatomy ultrasound to make sure all organs look good next week!
 

Perfect little spine! 

Creepy alien skull...arms and legs all jumbled together. Waving bye to us with his/her legs propped up on my wall. Hope this baby knows how to lounge!
