WEEK 18
i know i'm way behind on the posts...so i had my 2nd OB appt yesterday and everything is going well. no ultrasound this time but the heartbeat is in the right range and strong and regular...there's a baby in there after all!!! i say that because i really don't even feel pregnant. i have been feeling really great!!! no morning sickness or anything...honestly except for my obvious little baby bump....which now everyone is noticing...even my patients....i really don't even feel pregnant....what a blessing!!!!! i do sleep a lot more than my normal 6-7 hrs per night. i have only gained 3 pounds so far...i'm surprised too but glad....and since i have always had random food cravings, nothing really new or different in that department. mike and i did start our baby registry this past week and that was really fun, a bit overwhelming, but made us feel like we're actually getting ready for a baby to come!!!! so crazy. my pants are definitely getting tight but i have not yet purchased any maternity clothing....that might be my next venture. according to the books, the baby is now about 8.5 inches long and weighs about 7 oz. i should be able to feel the baby move any day now. they say it feels like a flutter or gas bubble so who knows????? the fingerpads and toepads are formed and the fingerprints are staring to develop this week as mostly everything else has formed. also, the baby's first meconium (poop) is forming in it's intestine and last week the baby started becoming aware of external sounds....so he or she can hear us now!!!
