UPDATE: Pictures added, and I am cracking up at how many of your names have been on my list at one time or another! I love it. Shot went well...17 to go!

I think my belly shot photography is getting worse, or I am just getting lazy. = )

Wow, I cannot believe that I am 18 weeks pregnant already. That's over my average halfway point! It has been so cool spending this week knowing that this baby is a girl. When I told Ava, her mouth dropped open, and she just sat silently for a minute, then she gasped "Finally! I'm going to have a sister!"

This week, the baby girl has been making her presence known. I've been feeling lots of little movements, and Ava can feel them from the outside, which surprised me considering I have an anterior (in the front) placenta yet again. So if I'm feeling her kicking already, she's doing it hard. When I was pregnant with Ava, she would literally kick books I was reading off my stomach towards the end of my pregnancy, and it seems like this one is going to follow in her footsteps (ha! No pun intended).

I'm going to try and get a belly shot later...I have an appointment with a nurse with a big needle this morning.

In the meantime, I want to hear all of your girl name ideas! Please share. Anything to knock Bindithejunglegirl out of the running! As a reminder or if you're new to the blog, our kids' names are Ava (Avelyn), Jace, Eli (Elias), and Seth.

Hope everyone is having a great morning!
