18 Weeks

This week was spent feeling less than 100%. Jim came down with a really bad type of sinus virus and I caught the lesser of what he got. We basically spent our 3 day weekend laying around, blowing our noses, eating cough drops, Jim coughing, not being able to breathe, and sleeping for the both of us (he needed it). Luckily, though, we were feeling 'better' by Memorial Day and we were able to get out and spend some time over at Mom & Dad's as well as catching a good clearance sale on Maternity clothes at Old Navy. It really was quite an uneventful week considering that we didn't do much because of how we were feeling. For being a shortened work week, it still kind of felt long; believe it or not. We were just really tired, I think. I was also having a lot of insomnia this week, but I guess this is very normal during pregnancy; even though I've had insomnia issues before pregnancy.

We've really felt blessed by how generous and kind people are to want to help us out with our pregnancy. My parent's neighbors gave us a practically brand new Pack n Play, offered us their barely used car seat, and gave a car seat to my parents. Likewise, we've been offered clothes by a numerous amount of people and continue to get great advice on what to buy and where to buy it. It's only a matter of weeks that we begin creating the baby room. I figure I have all summer to "nest" and get the house ready for a baby. I can't hardly believe that 5 months is right around the corner!
