18 week chalkboard

Hi sweet little baby,
There's no way we're 18 weeks already! I mean, it feels like we JUST found out that you're on your way...make time stop, please! In two short weeks we'll be halfway to meeting you and I don't want to meet you because I want to keep you safe in my tummy forever and ever!!!!
((No raging pregnancy hormones over here lol!))

How far along: 18 weeks + 1 day
Gender: GIRL (with a first name officially picked out, and a strong push by me for an adorbs middle name, too!)
Maternity clothes: It's safe to say my maternity wardrobe almost doubled in size this week. Hello full panel jeans and long sleeved tops!
Sleep: Pffft. What's that? 
Best moment this week: The ROYALS are going to the WORLD SERIES! Raleigh and I stayed up way too late through Friday night's rain delay, and even though I was just about too tired to function the next day, it was so. totally. worth. it.
Worst moment this week: Pemberley picked up another cold somewhere. They're getting old. I hate seeing her sick. Also the 13 hour day I spent at work & parent/teacher conferences last Thursday. Awesome students and parents, but that's just too much time to be at work.
Miss anything: Getting a good night's sleep, still. Cold brew coffee. 
Movements: Mostly at night when I'm winding down before bed. I'm in love with the little wiggles!
Cravings: Raw pancake batter. Pemberley might have caught me eating it this weekend straight out of the mixing bowl. #noshame #itwasdelicious
Queasy or sick: Felt fantastic this week!
Looking forward to: World Series Game 1 tomorrow night, and our upcoming extended sonogram on November 10th.t

As a last note, I posted this picture in the Official Facebook Kansas City Royals Fan Club page before they clenched the ALDS. I thought it was a sign that the only baseball chalkboards I've done so far are your 17 weeks and Pemberley's 38 weeks. (1738 is a major thing with the Royals. It's the beginning lyrics to their favorite team song, Trap Queen by Fetty Wap). I posted the side-by-sides and was blown away by all of our city's support! Almost 750 likes!!! And I took screenshots of the comments too, to show you someday. Needless to say, your Daddy and I aren't the only ones excited for your arrival! 

(Also, holy STOMACH! Was I seriously that big a year ago??!)
That's all for tonight, baby girl. I love you!!
