17 & 18 Weeks Update

We are on holiday in Lanzarote! It's been wonderful to spend some lovely time together and to feel the sun on our bodies. The resort is great and we have seen the entire island  as we hired a car for 2 days. The island was exceptionally windy the first few days, with warmer sunbathing weather the past few days. We've been doing lots of walking to the neighbouring villages via the cliffs along the coastline.

I have not been experiencing many pregnancy symptoms this week and I am feeling so good. I have been sleeping very well and eating lots including lots of naughty treats, but that goes hand in hand with holidays if you ask me! I felt baby Paicey moving this morning when I was laying on my tummy on a sun lounger. Lots of nudges which were really strong which was really cool. I haven't felt any other baby movement lately so it's still very inconsistent. My belly button has started to change slightly on the top from my belly growing and my wedding rings are getting tighter on my finger but that's definitely to do with the hot weather as well.

I am very lucky and I am off to Australia next week to visit my family and friends pre baby. So although I am not looking forward to the long flight, I am super excited to see my Mum, sister, brother and friends! I was hoping my bump would be a little bigger when I planned this trip but it's still pretty little. I am very much looking forward to going home for 3 weeks but I feel sad already thinking about being away from my husband. We have been talking alot about our baby,  baby names, the birth and what we need to buy when I get back from Australia. It's really exciting and I'm nearly half way!
