18 weeks

After a busy weekend, I am ready for an update. We had a good weekend in St. Maries celebrating Paul Bunyan Days and in Coeur D' Alene at Denee and Chris's wedding. I wasn't up for the typical PBD's of walking home at 3am or dancing at the Car Club Dance till they kick us out, but Gary and I were able to visit with family, see the best fireworks ever,and make a quick trip to the Ox to see some friends.

Less than a week till our big ultrasound. I am excited to know the sex and see the baby but a little nervous too. I know they will be looking at the babies heart, kidneys, etc., so I am praying everything looks good. I am glad I didn't hold my breath on the nausea issue, cause I would still be holding my breath! I had several days of bliss with no sickness but then it came back like a ton of bricks. I will say that I have been getting lots more breaks and not constant sickness. It seems like it is only about 3 days of the week that it comes on. I also only work 3 days of the weeek...wonder if there is a coincidence! I am about ready to do 4- 12 hr night shifts in a row for the first time in a month so am feeling a little less than excited about that. If I make it through the next 4 nights without crying, I will be impressed with myself! At least I will have something to keep me preoccupied while I wonder about the baby and what we will find out on Tuesday. My impatience is growing by the minute. I think my belly is growing by the minute too!
