18 weeks

First I would like to say that I know I do not match but I am limited on what will fit over my stomach that I want my picture taken in.
I am feeling much better lately. I have only gotten sick once in the last couple of weeks (which as most of you know if huge)!!! Lena is doing very well. She has started moving around a lot. I feel her mostly a night when I'm laying on the couch or in the bed. She thought it might be funny to play a trick on us. I did not feel her for about a day and a half (all day Monday and first 1/2 of Tuesday). I started to get concerned and called the doctor. The nurse told me that it was normal not to feel her everyday until around 22 to 23 weeks. She said that I could come in to check her heartbeat if that would make me feel better and to eat something sweet before I came in. I ate a chocolate poptart before I went and while waiting in the waiting room guess who decided to start kicking again. Of course I stayed (I love hearing her), her heart rate was good (142) and the nurse said she was moving a bunch. I have felt her all afternoon and night. This coming week (19 weeks Thursday) is very exciting. They say she will probably be able to hear us! So even though Lubin has been reading to her every night and she has been listening to her music box that her great-grandparents bought her, now we know she can hear it!
