little baby bateman: 17-18 Weeks!

I got a chance to fly back to Nebraska to visit my family these past two and a half weeks....it's been great! Also, perfect timing because Kyle had to head out on a mission so we're both gone at the same time! Now, unfortunately I couldn't carry along my chalkboard so I don't have any pictures but I'm still barely showing at all. It's rather funny because we've been telling more people from home...and then they look at me...and then look at my belly...and then back up to my face and have this confused look on their face because they don't see a bump! I then have to say...yes, I'm not really showing yet!

How far along? 17-18 weeks

Total weight gain: not negative but not positive

Maternity clothes? No but loving leggings

Sleep: not sleeping as much and not sleeping quite as well

Looking forward to: eating more Nebraska only food!!!

Besides the flight out to Nebraska, the day after the C-5 flight, I've been feeling pretty good. I'm definitely eating more but still have ups and downs. Have developed some awful indigestion which unfortunately is rather normal but like I said, feeling better! I've had a bit more energy, too. One of my mom and I's projects while I am home is to work on receiving blacks for little baby b. This morning I managed to whip out 4 of them. And I think I'm going to work on more after I get done here. We hit up the $2.50 a yard sale at Joanns. :)

Here is a pic of a few of the blankets we made!
