Pregnancy #2 - 18 Weeks

Oops! We missed week 17. Sorry!

We are now 18 weeks pregnant. This is the point in my pregnancy with Owen where I finally started showing just enough to take pictures. This week the baby is about 7oz. and about 5.5in long from head to rump (about the size of a large bell pepper).

I've started feeling little flutter kicks this week. It's not often, but it's about 3-4 weeks before I could feel anything with Owen. Feeling Owen move was my favorite part of my previous pregnancy. I am feeling much better. The sickness and exhaustion from the first trimester now seems to be completely behind me. So happy about that.

We've also started telling Owen that there's a baby in Mommy's tummy. He knows the word baby, so now he points at my belly and says baby. I'm sure he doesn't understand really, but it's a good start. :)

Below is this week's belly pic. Plus the 18, 19, 20, and 21 week pictures from my first pregnancy. I think I'm tracking closer to the 20 to 21 week pics, so still about 3 weeks further along.

Lookin' good!!! :) I'm so glad you're feeling better & feeling the baby - SO FUN! By far my favorite part too, even in the middle of the night! :) W/ Tristan I couldn't WAIT to look pregnant & it seemed to take forever. W/ Pierce, Mark just winked at me and I looked pregnant :) !! But I gained the same amount both times. Crazy. Thanks for the updates!!! xoxo
