Baby Freiman at Week 18 - Week of June 6th

For those wondering, the fetus is the size of a sweet potato this week! Apparently the weight of a sweet potato will tip the scale, since I started official weight gain. Also new to this past week were headaches that last pretty much all day and backaches in the mornings. I'm trying to eat lots of bananas and drink tons of water to avoid the dreaded leg cramps that are common around this time.

Highlights of the week:
*Enjoying a beautiful weekend with friends in Cape Cod - thanks to David for doing most of the driving to and from!
*On the way home from Cape Cod we had breakfast in Providence, Rhode Island - my 14th state capital!
*Saving the best for last - finding out Baby Freiman's gender!! We both thought the baby was a boy, so we were in shock when we were told our baby is a girl. We are thrilled and I'm also slightly relieved since I feel like in theory I should know how to raise a girl. :) 

What I've learned: 
*I was worried we wouldn't be quite sure about which daycares we would like, but as it turns out it's pretty obvious.
*Lana hasn't noticed I'm pregnant, as she walks across my belly in the middle of the night. I'll take it as a reminder that I need to start sleeping on my side anyway!
