Week 18...

I had the first ultrasound last week. That was nice, but not as cool as hearing the heartbeat the first time. :) The kiddo is still pretty relaxed in there, and I haven't felt alot of movement yet.

Things from this week....

• Rice Bags are wonderful for head colds
• Colds are not so fun to have at this time of year
• Mint Ice Cream is certainly delicious
• Sun sensitivity is in high gear
• Part time hours are wonderful
• That keeping active is definitely something I almost have to "schedule"
• That resting is also something I have to practice (as in, not writing, reading, but actually sleeping)
• That there really is something to this "emotional hormone" thing, though I'm still skeptical
• I realize that in order to use this season and enjoy it to it's full extent, I really need to be purposeful! And that's harder done than said.
• That I have a new "to-read" book list
• That it's nice to have vaccuumed floors and a clean table :)

And for some reason, the description of "How big is baby" for this week just struck me as funny: "Your baby's ears are now sticking out from the head."

hahaha :) Sure paints a funny picture doesn't it? (I know what they mean, but STILL! ha)
