Week Eighteen

September 14, 2011 by Aliesha

I love week eighteen.  I’m not sure why, but I really start to feel amazing around this point.  I’ve been feeling better for a couple of weeks this time around, and it’s so nice to not feel even a hint of morning sickness anymore!

Baby Mango is about the size of a sweet potato this week.  I feel her move probably 1-3 times a day, which is normal for this early in the pregnancy.  It will be fun to see if she is as active in utero as her big sis was!

I still might not look very pregnant to you, but I feel like I am going to pop out any second!  I have tons of ligament pain, cramping, and back pain, and I know this is because I am growing to accommodate my sweet little girl!  Soon everyone else will be able to tell she’s in there. πŸ™‚

Week eighteen with Vera.
