18 Weeks!!!!!


I think I finally felt the baby inside!!!! The other day I was driving home and felt a long, hard push on one part of my belly. I assume that was he/she stretching after a nap and not it bracing from my driving!

This week it seems like my stomach keeps growing! I actually feel it stretching inside. I know that sounds weird but it's true! I've been enjoying the maternity clothes that Sarah has given me. I hope to fill them out soon so I look more stylish than sloppy. Less than 2 weeks now until we find out the sex. Thank you to those who have voted so far in our poll on the side of this page.

I've noticed that smells are starting to bother me more now, mostly at the office. Everything seems stronger....sharpie markers, paint in my new office, press wash, and even other people's perfume. It's not that it smells bad, it's just overwhelming sometimes. Normally I enjoy those occasional "highs."

Lately, the nights have been uncomfortable. It's hard to find a position on my side without my limbs falling asleep! I've tried surrounding myself with pillows but that hasn't worked yet. I miss laying on my stomach!!!!!! And Lawton's snoring doesn't help either. Just kidding! Please let me know any secrets you may have about sleeping when pregnant. I need help! Feel free to comment......

Love,
Erika, Lawton, and Baby Swann
