kick kick!

its been a while since I've updated on my pregnancy here. I am 18 weeks and 4 days today. I feel like its going SO slow! I have outgrown all my jeans... and i still dont look like i have a belly i just look fat. And I'm really tired of everyone telling me.."You're pregnant you're not fat!" UGH! i feel fat and i don't look pregnant yet so yes I'm fat! I went to the doctor yesterday and stepped on the dreaded scale.. UGH! I hate seeing the numbers just climb! I know that it means healthy baby but i have a goal of 35 pounds which is normal but a lot more weight than I am used to carrying! Anyways... baby is doing well.. growing like a weed! I am going on three weeks now that i haven't thrown up! I think i am in the clear! Not a lot is new besides I am not throwing up anymore! Everyone told me that I would have a lot of energy and I still don't! I'm still always tired! Work really seems to take it out of me!

I felt the baby move! On Wednesday April 6th I was laying in bed before work one morning and i had my hands on my stomach. And i felt little kicks with my hands so i was able to tell what it felt like inside too! So once i knew what i was feeling the baby kicks me all the time! Its like a little piece of heaven feeling him move and kick me! You can see what side of my belly he is on now too! I am getting so excited for him to be here already but I am enjoying MY time and trying not to take my alone time and my time with Ryan for granted. We are really trying to soak up every second together.

We started the nursery! We have the baby room primed right now and plan on painting today! I cant wait for it to be done but i know its going to be a bit of a process! We have the dresser and the book shelf. I ordered the crib and glider just waiting for it to come! I am trying to order just one thing every pay day! So far its working pretty well! My sister in law Jacki has sent me a bunch of stuff for the baby she is even going to give me a stroller! I am so blessed with an amazing family!

The break is OVER already! I cant believe it! I am trying to set my brain up that Ryan will be gone every weekend until September... he always seems to miss outdoors due to injury and i must admit its really nice having him home in the summer! But i know its his job! He has been working extremely hard and made some changes to his routine. I have absolute faith in God and in Ryan's abilities that he will finish the supercross season strong! This weekend is in Seattle. I HATE Seattle since Andrew lost his championship there! It rains there every year and i think its ridiculous to have a supercross in an open stadium in Seattle in April! But who am i! I am not going because my weekends got split at work and so i work on Saturday. Am i upset? NO! I will miss Ryan and pray he stays safe but I am okay with not going! Well that's the update in the morais household! =]
