18 Weeks!

So today marks 18 weeks. The amazing thing is I still throw up on occasion! At least it is MUCH better. The doctor said the HCG (that's what makes you sick) is present the entire pregnancy. I guess most women just aren't that affected by it? Apparently, God didn't make that happen for me!!

We got our first ultrasound yesterday. It was SO amazing!! I can't imagine anyone seeing this amazing little being all formed and growing and not realize there is a God. There is NO way this can happen by chance!! To even think that at 12 weeks, the brain, heart, eyes, etc. are developed and mostly there! No way that is an accident!

So, since the throwing up is dying down, it seems the heartburn is picking up. It actually has gotten so bad it makes me cough! I bought a nice installment of Tums today to try and calm it down. Hopefully that will help! I just hate needing it already when I'm only at 18 weeks!

Let's see, what else is changing. How about, everything? For the first time, I can see past the top of me to my belly!! I haven't been able to do that since I was 13! I can still see my toes, so I think that's a good sign! It definitely is growing and becoming noticeable. Less fat looking, more pregnant looking!

I've also started feeling the little bubbles in my belly. Sometimes much more strong than others. Every once in awhile its keeps going for awhile. Josh still has yet to feel it, but hopefully soon!! Even as I type this I feel the bubbles... Baby Ridley likes to moooove!

Well, that's about it for this update. Love you all!!
