What I Know Now at 18 Weeks...

Week 18! In only 2 weeks, I will be 5 months pregnant! That means that in about 4 months I will get to meet my sweetheart! Things are becoming more real to me now BUT I am still waiting for 100% reality to set in. When does this happen? I thought it would happen when I started showing, but it really hasn't! I haven't felt the baby move yet (I don't think) but can't wait until I can!

We have designed our nursery and picked out our furniture and bedding. Because of my indecisiveness, it hasn't been easy.. and I take everyone's opinions way to personally.. but I think I have made some good decisions and am excited about it. I plan on making a bunch of these purchases within the next couple weeks!

Here is one purchase I am SUPER excited about! :)


Chicco Travel System.. I know it's not "girly" but we want to use it for more then one baby.. 
We started "construction" on the baby room this week!! Here is Jesse hard at work!! It's going to turn out soo cute!

18 Weeks 5 Days
Our baby is as big as a mango now, approx 6 in and .5 pounds. According to what to expect she can yawn this week which I think is so sweet.. I love little baby yawns.

I have definitely started on the NESTING stage.. although.. I'm pretty sure I had that before I was pregnant.. :)

I still have not had any cravings at all.. If fact, I haven't even really been wanting to eat anything.. I feel full all the time. Not sure if that's normal or not. I will tell you.. the other day I was STARVING at work.. We had to take a late lunch at 2pm so I hadn't eaten since about 7:30 that morning. So I went to McDonalds.. and I ate 1 BIG MAC, 1 MEDIUM FRY, 1 MEDIUM DIET COKE,  AND........ 2 APPLE PIES!! OMG! After I was done I was like oh no! What did I just do?! I ate every single bite and felt so guilty after! BUT! It felt good! :)

Because of this INCREDIBLY healthy craving.... I have to keep up on my exercise!! I got this awesome yoga DVD in the mail today! So much fun!
Getting ready to try out my pregnancy yoga DVD! It's amazing how different you have to exercise to be safe during pregnancy! Loved the DVD!


Alright so.. our favorite name we have picked out is Maelee Felter. Please help us pick a middle name!! We cannot think of anything!! We would really love to stick with something that is one syllable. :)

your so tiny! It will hit big time when your baby moves for the first time, that was my favorite! Also, you can pretty much eat whatever you want when your prego just not all the time so im sure your McDonald run wasnt a problem :) That name is so cute, and you dont really NEED a middle name kuz when she gets married she can use her maiden name. But im sure whatever you choose will be cute, good luck with the rest of your pregnancy!

Oh my....you are tiny. I couldn't fit in your jeans even though I'm not pregnant! So I want one syllable middle names too, I'm undecided if I want my girls to have middle names yet, but if so I just want something sweet and simple that they can drop later and turn their maiden name into their middle name. Anyways, now I'm rambling, I have thought of using the middle name Kay? It's short and sweet and for me it sorta represents my side of the family being all K. Kemps. It's a pretty common one, but just a thought!

Ann, Kim, sue, Jo, Elle... I think your smart not to get girlie stuff for all the stuff you can use again!! Your so cute and tiny! My sister in law is like 21 weeks and doesn't look prego either... I look more pregnant and I'm not lol!!!

Hey! I am so glad you found my blog cause now I can keep in touch with you! I haven't talked to you forever! Congratulations! Being a mom is incredible, I don't think there's any other way to describe it! You look so cute, I love your blog too! :)

You are tiny! I get a BIG belly. Congratulations on the baby girl. I love the name Maelee. AND FYI it doesn't truly set in-reality that is-until they place your little baby in your arms. Then your life changes forever in so many ways and it is amazing! Being a mother is the greatest.

You're so tiny, I heard Jesse felt Maelee move last night. So cool. See you Friday.

That is hilarious about McDonald's. Just remember, enjoy it while you can! You look absolutely adorable and I can't wait to see you get bigger!
