18 weeks....closer & closer to 20....the halfway mark!
Feeling really good but get tired more quickly (like after walking around Union Station & Crown Center!). I am also trying to teach Eli to be more independent about crawling in & out of his car seat for my sake! He also likes to be carried & held certain times & soon that, too, will be hard. Have to teach the older one to be more independent so they aren't shocked when baby comes but still giving plenty of love....hard to balance! I've heard it's also hard not to feel guilty when baby comes about not being able to give all your attention to the older one. Times are a-changin'!! Here's what I posted at 18 weeks for Eli.
Fun 18 week fact:
Baby's ears are in position & now stand out from his/her head!
Belly pic! 18 week belly pic from Eli here.

Hooray! Can't wait to find out what you are, little Clarkson!
Some encouragement since we're a few weeks ahead of you: it's just been awesome to see how much Aidan is adjusting already! He can tell that something big is changing, and he's changing too, so we're just changing together!! We've been pointing out babies and what they do differently than big boys and he's really running with it! And he is definitely starting to play independently more often - don't know how he compares to Eli, but Aidan is adjusting to me not being able to swing him around as much or as long and is instead just doing things *with* me like dancing or singing. We started putting diapers on his stuffed animals and it has turned into him make-believing with all of his toys. I think he's thriving, really, on learning that he can create and imagine on his own. Siblings are great blessings! :)
