18 Weeks

Today I am 18 weeks pregnant!!  Almost five months, time is reeeaaaally flying by.  I need to start really registering for baby stuff I guess.  Its just such an overwhelming task.....SO much to choose from!  Since I don't have an actual room for a nursery at the moment its kind of hard to envision anything for the baby's room and what I would want.  We are looking at more houses today though, so fingers crossed we find something that we both love.  I have a doctor's appointment in just a couple days so I'm excited to see the sonogram, Johnny hasn't seen one in  a couple of months so it will be neat for him to see how much the baby has grown.
I think I may have felt some movement in my belly!!!  I think!  Or it could just be indigestion, but I don't normally have little bubble like feelings like that so I'm hoping its baby.  They don't happen every day though, the first time it happened last week, I then went a few more days before I felt anything again.  So who knows.
Have a wedding this weekend and not looking forward to figuring out what to wear.......so I'm going to my friends house today to see if she may have anything that would work for me, I just don't want to have to buy anything that I won't be able to wear again.
Ok so here is this week's pic:
My little sweet potato is really growing!!  My belly seems to get bigger as the day goes on though.
How many weeks?  18,  about 5.6 inches
Baby is the size of :  A Sweet Potato
Gender:  Going to be a surprise....we're not going to find out
How am I feeling? Good! 
Cravings: this week I wanted french fries and bar food, just felt like eating junk, so we ended up going out for burgers one night :)
Can't eat: I don't think I can drink lemonade, I've had it 2 days in a row and have had upset stomach afterward both times.
Energy level: good especially in the a.m. but then dwindles towards the afternoon/evening
Maternity Clothes? still wearing stretch pants and the couple pairs of maternity jeans I have, no maternity tops yet......still trying to utilize what I already have.
Movement: I think I may have felt the baby but I'm not 100% sure, hoping it becomes more consistent!
Looking forward to:  my doctor's appointment in a couple days
