This pregnancy is feeling like forever, mostly because I've been off and on pregnant since April. If I didn't miscarry I would be having a baby the beginning of next month. It's kind of weird to think about, but it's been on my mind a lot. I've even been having these dreams where I have a baby and keep forgetting about her (it's always a girl???). One dream I left her at home as I went to a beach house with some friends and then once I get there I realize I left my baby. Then the rest of the dream I'm trying to get back home to get my baby. So weird!
Now at 17 weeks (actually 18 weeks tomorrow) I'm finally starting to feel better. I still get nauseous if I don't eat every 3 hours and I get really light headed when I get up too fast. I'm also still spotting, which is the only thing that keeps me worried during this pregnancy and is also the only thing keeping me from working and exercising. I don't remember if I've mentioned that I have a blood clot on my placenta, which is the cause of my bleeding, but besides that I really don't know much about it. My doctor doesn't seem to be very concerned about it. I think it's because there is nothing she can do except wait and see if it'll go away. On the bright side of things, I'm starting to feel the baby inside me and I find out if I'm having a little girl or boy in only 2 weeks now (boy???).
Here are pictures of the belly now...I swear my belly is looking (and feeling) bigger then what's showing in my photos.

awwww...I can't believe you'll find out the sex in two weeks!!! so exciting!!! and of course I have to continue to say you look great. Thanks for the post : )
You look fabulous, Erika! I love the updates, keep 'em coming. I spotted throughout all of Eva's and Ronin's pregnancies. Never know what the deal is with that. And boy do I relate with the "should've been having a baby now but not for another five months" thing. That is way hard, and I'm so sorry you have to go through that. I am so happy that you're starting to feel better too. Can't wait to hear what you're having!
Crazy that you still have a six pack and you're 18 weeks pregnant! Amazing.
