18 weeks

Baby's now the size of a sweet potato!


This week baby is become amazingly mobile passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing. Blood vessels are visible through the thin skin, and it's ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from the head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around the nerves, a process that will continue for a year after baby is born. If it's a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If it's a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

We have three weeks yet until we get to find out the sex. I am getting VERY impatient!!

But still, soo very thankful that I am feeling great. Being out of breath often is probably my biggest complaint...and that's pretty lame.
