Hello Loves! I hope everyone has had a great week! Nothing has really changed on this end. I'm starting to get really anxious about my upcoming appointments. I really want to see our little nugget. My husband used the doppler to check the baby's heart rate and it's still pumping at 147, which is awesome! I've been having some hip and pain this week so that's my down for Week 18.
People have been asking about baby names recently and that is just something that we have decided to keep secret until the birth of our child. Our names are really special to us so...no hard feelings, ok? I'm always like "no, we haven't really been thinking of names yet, since it's so early" when in the back of my mind, I'm like "hell yea, we know what we're naming our baby", haha!
Random: I've finally decided on a tank top that I will use for updates! This nice purple number below :)
Question: What's the best product for lubricating the belly?? I've heard raw shea butter is awesome. Anyone tried the Burt's Bees Mama Bee Belly Butter? I've been using coconut oil and it seems to do the trick!
