Baby #3: 18 weeks


How I'm feeling:

Please remember that this is where I document my life as you read this portion of my post.  Things are moving along well with baby.  My tummy is steadily growing and weight gain is steady and on course.  Let's just say there's one thing that's not moving along as it should and so I'm taking a little red pill to help things along.  There.  I tried to keep it as secretive as I could.  But let's be real.  A problem like that can be quite annoying.

Maybe the news next week will be more fun and attractive!

What Baby Center says:

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.
