18 weeks

Total weight gained so far: 6 pounds

Notes: So this week was another week of "firsts" for the baby. I took Baby Keebs on his/her first business trip. Our time in Washington, DC was mostly uneventful. The flights were smooth and other than my nerves were as good as I could expect. The only unfortunate part of my trip was the fact that I wound up with a touch of the flu on Wednesday/Thursday. Let me tell you, it's not at all pleasant to have the flu while traveling and pregnant!

On a good note, the baby has started moving a little more often these days. I usually get one or two good thumps a day, nothing huge, just enough to remind me there is someone growing in there.

Another first was Baby Keebs' first trip to the University of Illinois and his/her first basketball game. The team kind of stunk but Daddy and I had fun spending the day on campus, even if it was raining, and relived old times.

We also took Baby Keebs to his/her first wedding. Many people expressed how large they thought I looked, but family liked my dress. I'll have to post a picture from that day at another time. I have to get the picture from Grandma Kebert first. We had a great time and the wedding was beautiful...congratulations Jenna and Mark!

Keep growing healthy and strong Baby Keebs! We can't wait to see you next week! That's right, we're going for our big ultrasound next week. That means not much time left to get your votes in on what Baby Keebs will be. By Tuesday night everyone should know...provided we know (you know, there's always that chance the baby decides not to tell us!). Daddy and I love you Baby Keebs!
