I have been feeling pretty good. The sciatic pain started to improve mid week 18 and pretty much is non-existent now. (knock on wood) Now if we could just get the headaches under control, I would be golden!
The story - My sweet husband gave up his Utah tickets to take his fantastic wife for a much needed get away to the cabin - just the two of us! We had a blast! It snowed a whole bunch and we just enjoyed our time tucked away in the warm cabin. We watched a movie that night and I ate too much sugar (latest craving). We went to bed and as I layed there I felt her move at least a dozen times before I said something to Tren. He put his hand on my belly and applied a little pressure. Sure enough, he was feeling her move all around. It was so much fun to feel her for the first time together.
Now I feel her all the time. She is most active at night as I settle in to go to bed. I absolutely love feeling her! It makes me smile (and occasionally tear up) everytime I feel her.
These are from our ultra sound at 19 weeks. She is growing ahead of schedule. Everything looks fantastic which was a sigh of relief for me. As a nurse, you tend to know too much that can go wrong - which absolutely terrifies me. I try to keep Tren in the dark with most of the scary things.



What a sweet post. I'm so happy for you and for Tren. It makes me feel so happy that you're so happy! Can't wait to see her.
