18 weeks and GROWING!

I'm almost 1/2 way done with my pregnancy! I can NOT believe how fast it's been going. I'm so anxious for July to get here, yet, I want to treasure each of these days since I know they'll be gone before I know it. There's definitely been some things that have changed since I've become pregnant:

- I do not like Pete's Dolce & Gabana Light Blue cologne, makes me want to gag
- The only meat I really like right now, is hamburger.
- I don't have to worry about stuffing my face with Chinese food since the chicken i ordered the other day almost made me gag.
- I have an obsession with fruit, although it's not the same fruit. Started off with Clementine Oranges, moved to Grapes and now...apples.
- I no longer drink Wild Cherry Pepsi when it's around becuase it gives me a stomach ache
- I cry, not a lot, but I'll randomly decide crying is the best option for whatever just happened. Pete and Becky can vouche for this one!
- I've learned that I could care less about going to the bars anymore (crazy huh?!) and all I care about is taking care of the little Pepper growing in me :)
- Do not have a full bladder when you have to sneeze....
- Sleeping through the night is long gone when your bladder seems to be getting smaller and smaller and the smallest amount of water you consume has to come out, whether it's 10pm, 2am, 4am etc. you get the point.
- I'm enjoying being able to look down at my feet because I hear one day yous see them, the next day they're gone for months.
- Feeling the baby move around is amazing, theres nothing that beats that feeling right now.
- There's SOOO much baby stuff to look at and decide what's the "best thing" for your baby that it gets overwhelming.
- Having your husband come home and look at you, stop, stare and say "Holy Sh!t your belly had to have grown a ton overnight" had me on the verge of tears, but when he ran to my belly and touched it, it was priceless in his own little way :)
- Dress Pants can't be closed....Jeans can be, until you sit down for a long amount of time and it digs into your belly. If only everyone knew how often my pants are NOT buttoned, they'd be surprised.
- Belly Bands are amazing
- Watching my brothers take a finger in attempt of touching my stomach and not hurt the baby is the cutest thing. Watching their face when i place their whole hand on my stomach is even cuter.
- I have the best family and friends ever....they deal with my constant Baby Talk, asking questions, coming up with ideas etc. After having a rough start to this, twice...having them call, text, email, FB me constantly asking how I am means the world to me and this little baby is going to be so lucky to have so many people love him/her.
