18 weeks

A week ago from today close friends and relatives gathered at our house to find out the gender of our little one, after much suspense. The votes were in.... 9 of our friends and family voted boy, while 7 voted girl. Turns out my initial instinct and daddy's gut feeling were....... wrong. The cake was very pink. Baby Bowman is a little girl. Her name will be Eden Ansley Bowman. Can't wait to welcome her to our world in April! It's becoming even more real...

This week I began feeling the little flutters of baby kicking for the first time....It's easiest to feel when I'm laying in bed or sitting still. . . It would be easy to miss if I wasn't paying attention . Sometimes it just feels like a little flutter and other times a little bit stronger. It is wonderful, and I can't wait to feel her even more.

I've had a few cravings lately---brownie batter frozen yogurt from Orange leaf with mini chocolate chips and hot fudge is a recurring craving. I've had to fulfill it multiple times, and each time it hits the spot. Another craving.....sushi. I fulfilled it with a California Roll, which I didn't really like before being pregnant, but I knew it was as good as it was going to get until baby is born. It tasted much better than I remembered!
