US DUNCANS: Weeks 14-19

So I don't have lots of pictures from the last 6 Weeks, but I have few.

Lots has happened since I last updated. It's gone by in a flash and we find out the gender on Friday July 29th! Mary and Josh find out 3 days before us! I cannot wait to find out! For a long while we thought we could be patient enough to wait to find out the gender till birth, but we just can't.

Something I've noticed this pregnancy that has been different with my others and just all around different is how OCD I have been. If something is overly dirty or I smell something nasty I have to uncover the smell to clean it or else it will haunt me all day. We just moved into my childhood home right before I turned 18 Weeks and my mom and Mike had a dog that was inside quite a lot. We moved in and all I could smell was dog pee. For the first week we lived there I scrubbed all the floors and everyone said I was crazy and they couldn't smell it. I usually just try to brush off that kind of stuff. I'm not one to be a clean freak. But lately, I just want to clean and scrub everything. Long story short as to why we can't wait to find out if it's a boy or girl is because I'm a straight up control freak. I had a full on panic attack because I couldn't paint the walls before we moved in because I hated how many holes and flaws there were in the walls.

I'm a chill person pregnant/or not, But I'm a little weird this pregnancy... Haha.

16 Weeks was a really significant week for baby! I would feel him/her move same time every single night for a couple hours and it was such a wonderful reminder that the past 16 weeks haven't been for nothing. There's nothing more rewarding than feeling that. I know that may sound weird. But it is.

17 Weeks We moved to my childhood home because my mom and her boyfriend Mike got an awesome opportunity to move to a farm here in Pocatello and It's awesome! Anyways, they needed renters so we decided to snatch it up because, hello, pregnant with our third! we're going to be a big family that needs a house. We were planning on buying a home first part of next year so it worked out great because my mom wants to sell it anyways. We may or may not buy it. Right now i'm not really wanting to but Lucas does so we'll see.

18-19 Weeks was another crazy awesome week because it was no longer every night that I felt baby but ALL THE TIME! It's at the wonderful stage when it isn't uncomfortable. It's so sweet and the little movements are just amazing. I'm really thankful that I have felt him/her moving more that week because I have put a lot of strenuous activity on my body with the moving and chasing kids around. I also had to run the day care for a couple days while my mom had a work thing in Boise, So I was in charge of it all and it was kind of crazy. I got a sinus infection and the stomach flu went through our little family so it's been a NUTS couple of weeks. I'm just happy it's dying down. I'm totally physically and emotionally exhausted. So i'm very much looking forward to some down time this week. Hopefully!
