18 weeks

Hi kiddo!
You have officially hit the 18 week mark. It's been pretty exciting the last few days as you are moving around like crazy. It is so fun! Sometimes, you will hit me in a place that I don't think you would be at and then I check you out on the doppler and you are right in those spots. I hope that the wonder of it and amazement of those feelings don't go away! You are more real to me than ever and each little kick just bonds me to your more.
A funny thing happened today. I was day dreaming and thinking about you being born. I was thinking how cool it would be if you were born healthy before Christmas and how I would take you to get your picture taken at the Portrait Innovations studio. I was vividly imagining getting you out of the car and taking you in the studio. I told the photographer "this is her first photo." Then, I pictured you in a beautiful Christmasy-dress. Um, it took me awhile to realize that you are a BOY. No pretty Christmas dresses for you. See, I guess your mom still hasn't totally given into the belief that you are a boy. I have beeen calling you a 'He' or 'Him' or 'Sebastian' or 'Elijah' but I guess it hasn't totally sunk in yet! We will see next visit to Dr. Bonehead then maybe all suspicions will be put to rest.
