happy Wednesday all. Today started pretty rough but has ended up pretty nice after a long relaxing dinner with Dave at one of my favorite restaurants. We went to Tokyo Japanese Steak House and I got steak, shrimp and scallops with rice and veggies.... I'm so stuffed!
I've been sleeping better now that the anaconda pillow is back on the bed. I'm also having really weird dreams... last night I had a monkey that was trying to escape through the duct work. That and I was doing laundry for a freshman boy I had a crush on! Random? Yes. But I'm thankful that I'm dreaming and not tossing and turning!
I have been noticing the baby kick a lot more lately, especially around lunch time. It's really fun to know it's not just gas! he he he. It's pretty fantastic actually.
Here's the 18 week update... 8 more days until the BIG ultrasound!
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. (I hope that doesn't happen!!!!)
Bad news this week is I have an eye infection... again! It's not fun but the good news is I can take the medication my optomitrist perscribed. I just can't wait to see again without goopies!
Have a great week! I hear the weather is tapering off (especially in Michigan).. keep warm!
