18w Skittle, plus a few Miriam pictures

I'm 18 weeks pregnant with Skittle, and things are going really well.  My nausea is almost completely gone (knock on wood!) and Mario has felt the baby move several times.  Many of my colleagues know about the baby, but none of the students have asked yet.  Kids are usually very honest with their questions and opinions, so I'm kind of surprised that none of them have said anything yet!

Here are some pictures of me from last week, at about 17.5 weeks:

Then, some quick pictures of Miriam...she loves to help us carry our lunches in the morning, lay in bed with Bella and try on Mario's glasses.  We were successful in getting rid of her pacifier a couple weeks ago, and she's been doing really well!  She traded in her "bubbies" at Build a Bear (she actually handed the cashier a bag full of her pacifiers) in exchange for a large stuffed leopard that has now joined her group of bedtime buddies, which include teddy, hippo, leopard and a baby doll, in addition to 2 blankets.
