Well it was another slow week, I can't wait until my ultrasound on October 12th but then Im a little nervous because I'll have another 20 weeks after that and wont have any big appt's to look forward to! We moved offices for work this week so at least some of my day was busy with packing up my desk and helping move some stuff around.
18 week update - Bell Pepper!
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.
