18 week update

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.

My little bell pepper! =) He moves a lot. I still only feel him when I am being still and we cant feel him from the outside yet. But soon enough! I love feeling his little nudges..like little bubbles inside.
I did not get much sleep last night so I am super tired today. I will hopefully be able to sleep tonight...I was 30 min late to work because I could not get out of bed. That always just throws my whole day off.

This weekend I went to my friends baby shower. She is 31 weeks pregnant with a little girl and it was so much fun to see all of the cute little girl stuff that she got! I had a good time shopping for her too!
While doing so, I of course came home with a few things for Eric too! Babies R Us was having a HUGE clearence sale and all of their clearence things were marked way down AND buy one get one free! Kaitlin (My friend) also got him a few outfits, Including a pair of overalls and the TINIEST pair of John Deere socks!! ahhh so cute! My mom came over this weekend while our roof was being fixed and brough a few outfits, little socks, mittens, and a pair of shoes and size zero puppy house slippers! haha I love them! I am sure that Charlie (my love dog) will take the pleasure of taking them off of Erics feet as soon as I put them on. We will see!

Yes, My roof is fixed! And we were SO lucky that my moms boyfriend Steve is in construction and took the time out to come and help us out. He did it for some beers, dinner and gas money! Cant beat that! Thank you Steve!! Dont know what we would have done without ya!

I go back to the doctor on May 11th...next Wednesday. I am wondering if I have gained any weight. We do not own a scale. So I am anxious! I definitely feel like I have gained a couple pounds but we will see.

I think that is all for now.. XOXO
