18 weeks

Today I am 18 weeks and 5 days pregnant. Baby Piki is the size of a sweet potato and is making all sorts of movement in there. 

Week 18 started off with Halloween which is a special Holiday too us. Besides the fact that it's a lot of fun to dress the girls up and take them trick or treating (and then eating candy), it's also my 4th wedding anniversary. The two reasons that date was picked was because 1.It makes it a lot easier to remember because of the fact that it's also a Holiday and 2.to me October 31st feels like the last day of fall and November is more of a winter month even if the weather isn't cooperating this year.  

I picked out their outfits the beginning of October so I didn't have to worry about it later. D was little Red Riding Hood and R was an owl. 

 D wasn't feeling the costume at first, but by Halloween was happy to have it on. She also got into going door to door and would happily say "tweet tweet!" aka trick or treat to the home owners passing out candy.  We had a pretty good selection of candy and both girls went to bed happy.

Besides the braxton hicks this week has been decent. As the information giving about this week says baby starts really moving and doing stuff in there and I have seriously been feeling it! I've felt Piki move around for a few weeks now, but this week was the first time I was able to feel from the outside. It doesn't happen all the time, but it's been quite a bit especially in the  morning. D&J will be traveling out here  this weekend to see their baby and check out the area so I really hope Piki cooperates and lets his/her daddies feel the movement.
