Sweet Pea - 18 Weeks

 We get to see you again this week! And maybe find out your gender! It will be during the 18th week (17 weeks weeks 3 days)

Baby Changes:
 You are about  5 1/2 inches long, and you weighs almost 7 ounces. You are about the size of a bell pepper! You can flex your arms and legs. Mommy has noticed this more! :) Your blood vessels are visible through your thin skin, and your ears are now in their final position. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around your nerves. If you're a girl, your uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're a boy, your genitals are noticeable now. 


Movement: I am feeling you more and more. Daddy has tried and felt a "wave" once but not much. Hopefully he can feel you soon!
Cravings: Beef jerky, mexican, cranberry salsa, banana bread, Texas Tea in Amarillo

Sleep: Sleeping ok. We stayed up late several nights in Amarillo this week so Mommy is pooped! 
Symptoms: Feeling pretty good now!
Daddy update: He's doing great! He is ready to feel you well now!  

News:
 We had lots of fun visiting family in Amarillo for Thanksgiving! I cannot wait for you to be able to meet them all! :) We went to the doctor this week but you decided to cross your legs. So there is no definate answer on your gender. You were also very low in my pelvis which made it hard to see. Hopefully Dec. 17 we will find out! Here is a fun picture though! You were waving to us and when he froze the picture it looked like this :) You have mommy's pointy nose and daddy's small chin :)We already love you so much!

Days until due date: 154 days - 22 weeks!

Love, Mommy
