18 weeks

I have one word for you: constipation. Hey, I didn’t say it would be a pretty one.

But that’s definitely the thing of the week, and quite possibly of the past couple of weeks, I forget. It might have something to do with the changes in diet from the move, but it could also be that it is what it is, period. Our kitchen is not properly stocked yet, it takes a while to get everything you usually have there. Definitely no healthy snacks yet, so it might take a while to get back to normal. I guess coffee cake doesn’t help either…

Another thing I’d forgotten to add, pregnancy brain. Sometimes words, and complete thoughts, escape me. They are there, and then they’re gone. And balance is starting to be an issue too, especially when you add a 23 lb. baby to the mix. (Wait, is Evan even considered a baby anymore? Am I supposed to refer to him as a toddler now?)

Also, I think it’s possible to feel Belly Bear move from the outside now. We haven’t tried to see if Josh can feel movement, but we’ll see if we can try tonight. I’m sure I can feel it, but there’s always the possibility that it’s because I know exactly when and where s/he hits. So we’ll see.

Update: we tried, Josh couldn’t feel Bear yet. Oh well, shouldn’t be too long now.
