I bet you're wondering what that title is about. Well, 18 weeks is how far along I am with this pregnancy and 7 years is how many years Nate and I celebrated yesterday.
For our anniversary yesterday we did . . . . . . . absolutely nothing. In fact, we both forgot until I got a text message from my mom mid-morning. Wow. Are we horrible people or what?!?!? Now, before you start thinking that we didn't do anything, we actually celebrated early. Over the weekend Sanaa had a sleep over with Nate's parents and we had a night at home, alone. We went out to dinner and also had breakfast at Cracker Barrel before picking Sanaa up. So, it actually was a very relaxing and fun anniversary.
This morning I had my doctor's visit to check on baby #2. The baby's heart beat is going strong and all looks well. However, I still have not gained any weight with this pregnancy, which is hard to imagine since we just got finished with the holidays. The doctor would like to see me gain a pound a week from here on out and strongly suggested that I graze all day long since by the evening my nausea typically comes back and I'm not up for eating much.
My next visit will actually be in 2 weeks. The doctor would like to do a sonogram at 20 weeks to check up on the baby, so on the 21st we'll get to find out if Sanaa will be having a baby sister or baby brother!
Seeing as how I don't have any pictures of me with a belly that hasn't grown much, I put some in of Sanaa. Plus, I know the truth. You'd rather see pictures of Sanaa anyway. Sanaa loves to sweep and I really need to find her a little child sized broom. But I figured instead of giving her a broom to push around I'd give her the dry swiffer, this way she's not just pushing dirt around but actually working for me. She thinks it's all fun and games, but I'm finding this to a wonderful way to keep my floors clean. :-)
