I can't believe I am 18 weeks, and into my fifth month. It's crazy how fast the time goes! It's lovely to finally be able to do normal things, and actually get excited about having our little baby in my tummy. I've started to feel it fluttering around, which is pretty surreal. It started on NYE - must have been the angelic voices at karaoke! It's very faint and I generally have to be not doing anything to properly notice it.
My tummy is finally growing, and though its still pretty unnoticable in clothes, I think, at my next appointment in 2 weeks, the tape measure will finally show a couple of extra centimetres growth around my abdomen. It's a pretty wierd stage where I don't really look pregnant, just like I have this potbelly type thing! Fortunately, all my clothes still fit though I wonder for how much longer?
We've been chatting about names, and we do agree on a few beautiful ones, but the discussion seems to go round in circles. True to form (my husband is VERY black and white), Nug likes two or three names and that's it. I do see his point: 'I like these names, why think of others?' but there are MANY shades of grey, and names that he just hasn't thought of! We 'vito' each others suggestions that we absoloutely don't like (he thinks some of mine are too pretentious, and I think some of his are too 'rugby league'). It's also very hard to get away from the 'I knew/taught a (insert name) and don't like it anymore.' Maybe we'll just name it Tokyo.
I can't wait for my next scan in 2 weeks. Hopefully the little one cooperates this time round. I can't believe it will be my second last appointment in Japan!
