This is such a joyous time, and we're really loving this experience. I am getting super spoiled- I have gotten no morning sickness whatsoever ( I know, lucky), no really weird food cravings and just a bit of tiredness every now and then, mostly at night.
I am not drinking any caffeine, so sometimes dealing with the tiredness can be tricky, but I am better used to it by now. I haven't really had to buy any maternity clothes yet, but my pants are fitting a lot tighter these days.
On our last visit to the doctor ( picture below), we were able to listen to the baby's heart beat, and I gained a healthy 4.5 lbs. I am holding an avocado because that's roughly the size of baby Rodick by now :)
Since then, we got a changing table as a gift from a friend who didn't need it anymore ( thank you Aunie Lena), and we got our crib and a few items for the nursery decor. Our theme will be beach, so lots of starfishes, sea shells and the like, for a neutral theme.
On Friday, we celebrated 18 weeks (picture below), and bebe Rodick is the size of a bell pepper.
I wore this outfit for work with a cardigan, and think people can see it better. Again, still fitting on regular jeans, but not sure for how much longer :)
Our next appointment is on Nov.5, and I will post pictures and updates here. There are so many incredible memories as the days go on, we feel really blessed.
In the meantime, please enjoy this beautiful picture of Bryan having a great time putting the crib together. I will post a picture of the crib on the next post.
Love you all,
Have an amazing week,
Bryan, Thais and Bebe Rodick
