It's Saturday morning and Brian just made me an awesome breakfast. Eggs, biscuits, sausage, & fruit. Great job B!! He takes such good care of me. I am supposed to start studying right about now, but blogging is so much more fun. I figure I need to blog all I can because after October, the blogs may be few and far between.
I can't quit thinking about our little girl Moore, and how we can't wait to meet her. Will she be tall like Brian and have brown hair, but my facial features? Will she have Brian's facial features but my blonde hair? Or...will she look just like her mamma?! Will she be bossy and opinionated like her mamma? Or laid back and quiet like her Dad? I can't wait to find out. I just hope she gets Brian's metabolism. That's all I'm hoping for, and the rest will be perfect!! I was thinking this morning how glad I am that Brian and I moved back to Hattiesburg, and that we get to be around our family and friends to share our many blessings. I was also thinking how great it is to raise a girl in the South to be a Southern Belle!

2. The disgust with almost all smells
3. The morning hurl
4. The irrational/emotional thoughts
5. The heartburn
6. The total lack of energy
7. The forgetfulness
8. Not being able to find maternity business suits for work- very frustrating!
9. Getting on the scale at those monthly appointments- Ugh!
10. The baby isn't growing in my arms and legs so why are they getting bigger too?!!!!
18 Weeks- Before Dinner last night w/ friends at the Hibachi Grill
You look so cute! I have to confess...I've already started baby girl Moore a wardrobe :) You knew I was going to do that anyway. I just couldn't help myself. As for the forgetfulness, I swear I still have "pregnancy brain". I hope you start feeling better soon, but I'm glad Brian is taking such good care of you. You better milk that for all it's worth :)
