Hey Daddy!

How far along?: 18 weeks, 0 days.
Total weight gain/loss: Forgot to check, but it was a pretty healthy week between food & exercise (well, except for the steak tacos & sopapillas I had Saturday night at Abuelo's...it was date night, so I get a pass. Oh & also, they were soooo good so I don't even care.)
Maternity clothes?: Getting tired of wearing the same things all the time (already!) so I'm ready for the warm weather to stick around permanently.
Sleep: Having a very hard time falling asleep, but thankfully I'm getting better at staying asleep once I do. Very few bathroom breaks right now.
Movement: A lot. And I've started to feel it while standing, too. But the absolute best part? Daddy got to feel a few kicks this afternoon! It's so early (a few weeks before we felt things with Brooke,) so he's convinced it's because we're having another giant baby. Sigh. All I care about is that Daddy & Baby have now met, so hopefully that makes this pregnancy even more real for the husband. (Maybe now he'll be ready to start talking about names...)
Food/Cravings: Grape juice.
Gender: No feeling this week, but I did tell the husband last night that I think we are destined to be parents to a boy, whether it's with this baby or another.
New w/pregnancy #2: Despite the baby kicks & the growing belly & the fact that we talk about the baby all the time, I still don't completely believe that I'm having another one. I find myself forgetting sometimes (which NEVER happened with my first pregnancy). I just stare at my belly in disbelief at times. Am I really gonna be pushing out another one in 5 months?
What I miss: Nothing really. Loving being pregnant today!
What I am looking forward to: Adding Baby Reeder into our lazy Sunday family time. We sat on the couch as a family in a Brooke-sandwich watching Mickey Mouse Clubhouse this morning. I sang along to all the songs (ALL of them...we watch it a lot), Daddy tried to remember the words Mickey says in every episode, and Brooke-o said "cheers!" at all the appropriate times. It was such a simple moment, but such a beautiful family moment. Can't wait for Baby Reeder to join us :)
Best moment this week: Looking through pictures from Brooke's birth and the few days after it brought back a flood of memories of just how awesome it was. And got me crazy-excited for Baby Reeder to come into our family.
Weekly Wisdom: Graeter's makes the absolute greatest ice cream on the planet. Hands down.
Milestones: I survived this week. Between lingering morning sickness and a crabby toddler, I wasn't so sure I would. That should be celebrated.
