18 Weeks and Counting!

I still am not feeling any baby movement yet but I do seem to feel different every week.

The headaches that I wrote about last week have seemed to gone away for the most part. Hopefully it's not just a temporary relief and the headaches are gone for good.

I'm starting to realize that all of these pregnancy websites and e-mails that I read really are quite accurate. One of the latest things I read is that your dreams become more vivid and clear. This has definitely been the case this week. And although I haven't had any dreams with my baby in them yet I'm sure that will come. One of my dreams from last night had something to do with me going to Las Vegas with the Duggar family and huge garbage trucks started driving really fast and running people over. I'm sure the dreams will keep getting better.

I know that most of you know that John and I do not want to find out if the baby is a boy or a girl until the baby is actually born but a lot of people have been talking to me about old wives' tales lately. I had heard the tales about the rate of the baby's heart beat and how the mom carries the baby being a way to tell the gender, however, at work last week I heard a couple new ones from coworkers. One of them told me that because I was glowing I'm having a girl. Someone else told me that because I was having such awful headaches that I might be having a boy since the hormones are a little wilder. I guess we're just going to have to wait 22 more weeks to find out which one it is!
