18 week update

We are still in Red River, N.M. but I thought I would go ahead and post what babycenter.com says is going on with our baby boy this week! I have been feeling him move all week long, especially when I am eating or at night when I am going to sleep. It is amazing!

Your pregnancy: 18 weeks
How your baby's growing: 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.

We hope everyone had a wonderful Thanksgiving!

Love,
Tiffany & Sean
