I am now 18 weeks along and almost half way there (20 weeks is half done!!) The baby is the size of a Bell Pepper, measures almost 6 inches and weighs 7 ounces! I have been growing a lot lately too and feeling really good for the most part! Well... good in the body sense... "interesting" in the going crazy in the brain sense. I never understood what pregnant hormonal women go through when it comes to their emotions... and now I do. Since my last blog, life inside my head has been ... hmmm... NOT FUN. I have to say that not being able to react like myself is pretty frustrating for me and I'm sure others around me! (Sorry!!!) But as of Sunday I feel like I have a grip again... so hopefully that will last for a while!
On Saturday I finally went Maternity clothes shopping! I had gotten some stretchy pants from lulu... which had saved my butt for the past couple of weeks... but I desperately needed some clothes that didn't need the fly left all the way down!! So Matthew was kind enough to bring me to Yaletown to get some pretty jeans, a skirt and a nice top! Thanks LUV! So needless to say I feel much better... in the fashion way and the enough room for my big bellie way!!!
Sunday was great... Happy Mothers Day to all the mothers I know... and especially these ones!!! It was fun thinking about being a mom next May! I can't believe it!

On Monday morning in my office meeting... I felt a tiny Baby Punch! It was exactly like someone very small just poked me from the inside out! That was a wonderful feeling which I
quickly shared with Matthew... he thought that was great! Yeah for exciting new phases in pregnancy! Looking forward to whatever else comes my way!!!
