Week 18

I am 18 weeks and 2 days.
I am finally feeling better! Pregnancy sickness has pretty much left. I still fill sick throughout the day but it doesn't last long. I'm so happy. It's amazing to feel almost normal again!

I have had a pretty quiet week this week. Just been home trying to catch up on all the things that need doing here.

I am liking food again and am enjoying being able to eat.

I have been laying down with Essence at night to get her to sleep. It takes a long time (at least an hour) and the room is dark so I usually end up falling asleep with her! I do try to take the opportunity to focus on the baby. I feel most of the movements at night, when all is quiet. I'm feeling lots of little movements near my left hip. Most movement I feel is on the left side down low. Today I've felt the baby lots. I love it. I think I even felt it on the outside. I was pressing hard (not too hard) but it's hard to tell at first if it's on the outside as well as the inside! I love this part of pregnancy.

I'm still tired but am getting my energy back. Love having energy!

Am still really looking forward to my big scan next Friday. I can't wait to confirm that the baby is a girl!
