18 Weeks!!!

I cant even describe how happy we are to be having a baby girl! This has been such an exciting week for us! Of course I started shopping the day after we found out! Having a girl might not be so good for our bank account!!! eeekk!

 This week has been alittle better with the headaches. Still having some bad days but seems like they aren't as often anymore. I feel like my belly has grown so much in the last week or so! We are really growing lately! Also, the past couple days I've been really feeling her move! Kicking all over the place! Such a weird feeling!!! Drew felt her kick for the first time yesterday. It made him melt like butter. He was so excited and so inlove. <3  I have a couple new ultrasound pictures that I will post soon. Also, an updated belly shot! Stay tuned!!!



Baby, fetus at 18 weeks - BabyCenter
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
