My Pregnancy: Week 18

Baby's now the size of a sweet potato!

Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing.  And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.

I had a head cold this week that was annoying, but other than that, pregnancy symptoms seem to subside more and more with each passing week, except my ever-growing stomach.  It is interesting because I feel that this little girl shifts around a lot more than Leila did because there are times when my stomach is so tight and feels like it may burst but then a few hours later and you can hardly see my bump.  It's pretty crazy!

We've been brainstorming some names now that we know we can focus on just girl names.  Nothing is striking us as strongly as Leila's did, but our top contenders are currently: Clara, Marian, Maya, Mara, and Sybil.  We'll see which, if any, grows on us over the next little bit.
