What an exciting week it has been! Not only did we have an awesome ultrasound for a perfectly healthy baby, but our baby is going to be our son! I feel like I’ve popped this week and maybe most people notice my bump now. 
Head to rump, our baby boy 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 I'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.
How far along? 18 weeks!
Total weight gain/loss: 3 lbs
Maternity clothes? I wore regular jeans today with a Bella Band!!
Stretch marks? none
Sleep: Decent, but I’m exhausted this weekend
Best moment this week: Finding out we’re having a BOY and putting a name with his sweet face
Movement: Much more later this week, but still pretty sporadic.
Food cravings: Blueberries, strawberries, salad and oatmeal.
Gender: BOY!!
Labor Signs: None
Belly Button in or out? Still in
What I miss: Sleeping past 630am while I have the chance
What I am looking forward to: thinking our dreams for Tippett
Weekly Wisdom: Whether you decide to find out the gender at the Level II ultrasoud or wait until the birth, both are big surprises!!
