And here is a photo I took of my belly, and a new shirt I got, at 18 weeks. This was Friday so close enough to 18 :)
It's a cell phone picture. Had to send it to my mom :)

Also this week, I went to Babies-R-Us to look around and start working on the registry. Um...can I just say Overwhelming?! I know there is a lot to do and get. I need to organize myself and start in one area and move to the next. I think I'm making progress though.

More info on the {Great Debate} discussion that I posted last week, info to come later :)

I was just stressed out about the responsibilities and costs associated with buying a puppy. Not nearly comparable to preparing for a little human! So excited to see how things work out. I'm still a huge supporter of waiting for the sex, if you need a supporter that is. I love watching your progress!
