18 Weeks and Counting!


Hi everybody! In this picture I am at 18 weeks gestation. Thank you to all my friends that have said I look good, and look pregnant, not like I'm gaining weight. :) In my mind, I'm still not sure whether I'm pregnant or just eating too much! I am due January 18, 2010. Yes, these are my pre-pregnancy clothes! I am slowly weeding them out as needed. Here is a recap of my pregnancy so far.
  • Tony and I were happily surprised when we learned I was pregnant! We found out on Mother's Day, 2009.
  • We were then scared to death.....
  • We then got used to the idea.....
  • Now we can't wait for Baby Elizondo to get here!
  • I did not have too much nausea in the beginning, thank goodness
  • However, I had an aversion to healthy foods like chicken, fish, and vegetables.....go figure!
  • The aversions now seem to be gone and no major cravings (well, candy and junk food taste awfully good)
  • I LOVE to eat in general!
  • I actually LOST a couple pounds during the first trimester - go me!!
  • I am feeling pretty good most of the time!
  • I thought I was having a little boy.....I just had this feeling.
  • Tony and I made it through three weddings over the summer - my sister April's, my friend Karen's, and our friends Sean and Christine's
  • The preliminary finding is that we are expecting a GIRL!!! To be confirmed at 20 weeks.
  • I have started to feel the baby move; it feels like a little angel.
  • Tony completed a sprint triathlon (swim, bike, run)
  • Our first niece (aside from our 5 beautiful step-nieces) was born on August 19, 2009! Miranda Lynn Carr weighed 9lbs., 4oz. at birth. She is a beautiful baby! The cousins have already talked to each other (through my tummy) and can't wait to meet in person and play together!
