I am 18 weeks today! Yay! I have a check up on Friday, hopefully we can schedule my 20 week ultrasound. We'd like to get the ultrasound right before Eli's birthday because we would like to do a gender reveal after Eli's birthday. My plan is to have his party, have family stay for lunch, then go back to our house and have a box waiting for Eli to open with either pink or blue balloons in it. When he opens it up, the balloons fly out, and Surprise! Everyone knows what R2 is!
I am feeling much better, I have stopped throwing up for the most part, thankfully!
I still have not gained any weight, which is awesome because I don't need to gain more than 15 pounds or so, so I am hoping to save that til trimester 3 if I can. I have started getting a bit more hungry, but as long as I eat a small snack every 2 hours or so, I stay pretty stable at work. I have had to go to bed at 9:30 or so every night in order to function the next day, as I get up at 5:45-6ish every morning.
We are still debating on names, I think we are going to keep the name quiet until after R2 is born, we kinda did that with Eli, but not on purpose, we just weren't 100% sure yet. We are super indecisive and probably won't know until we see his/her face anyway.
I'll update more after my appt on Friday :)
Eli is back in full swing of preschool. He LOVES preschool! Its kind of expensive, but I am glad we moved him over to ECU. He has great teachers who seem to "get" him and they definitely challenge him everyday. He has great friends there and loves going everyday. We have to put his tired baby butt to bed at 7:30 every night so he can get up in the morning.
Geoff is still slaving away at Wal-mart. His official title is "assistant manager" but should probably be "Wal-mart B*tch" because that's what he is. He is scheduled 50 hours a week, but works closer to 60. He is working on figuring out a plan to go back to school, so hopefully that pans out and he can finish his degree and find a job that is satisfying for him. We are, of course, grateful he is gainfully employed, but it is hard to see him so frustrated with work.
That's pretty much it for the Robinson Family. We are looking forward to cooler weather, Eli's birthday, and the holidays right around the corner!
