18 Weeks and Still Going

Well we are at 18 weeks and still doing ok. Tired and achy alot still because of the expansion and baby growth. We go back to the dr on Monday for another ultrasound and hopefully will have info on the gender then. Be assured it will be posted here and I have a long email list waiting to send out to people so everyone gets the info.

I thought from here on out I would include some info on where the pros say we are at this point.

How your baby's growing: Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a large sweet potato) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable, though he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
