Prego update: 18 weeks

Great news! 

My uterus is now the size of a cantaloupe! (A fact I KNOW you've been dying to know!)

And it's housing a growing baby boy the size of a mango!

In case you haven't held a mango in your hands in a while...

that's about 6 inches crown to rump (or the length of your open palm).

Craziness!

And because I know you're wondering what a uterus the size of a cantaloupe has done to my body...

This was 8 weeks (left) and now 18 weeks (right).

This is me 17 weeks pregnant with Ava (left) and 18 weeks pregnant with baby boy (right). 

I am definitely still in the "fat" stage, but looking more pregnant every day. 

New and exciting things:

• I feel my baby boy moving ALL the time. I must have ABsolutely ;) no abdominal muscles after having Ava or he is destined to be a soccer player...because I have even felt him kicking from the outside already! Always moving. Best feeling in the world.
• I am feeling GREAT - in fact SO great that I would forget completely that I was pregnant if I didn't have this ever-expanding waistline or if I wasn't being sucker-punched in the bladder 24/7. :)
• No food aversions, no cravings, little to no nausea. I do have heartburn, but that's about it. My boy is already being so good to his momma. :)
• I am so completely in love, love, love with the fact that I am having a boy! I have ALWAYS wanted a baby boy and can't imagine a more perfect scenario than having a baby boy join our family! 
• I am also completely terrified of being a mom of two kids under the age of two. There, I said it. 

But mostly, we can't wait to meet this sweet little baby brother!

Take your time little guy, you still have a lot of growing to do! 

But know that I already love you oh so much! :)

I already have his coming home from the hospital outfit, courtesy of Grandma Schooff. 

Perfection.
