18 Weeks

Time is just flying by, I am already 18 weeks. Things are going well, I am able to get out and exercise more which feels good. The Dr. was able to give me a perscription for Vicadin for the times when my headaches get bad .

I am feeling very blessed. There are many things that have been coming together and people who have just been wonderful in helping any way they can. Thank you everyone!!! :)



What the Baby is doing this week....






Your BabyYour baby's ears are now facing forward and are completely formed so she can actually hear you talking now. You don't need to abandon your potty mouth just yet, but you might want to start thinking about it! Other highlights this week: This week is also the beginning of ossification. And while that sounds like some long and involved paperwork you'll have to fill out, it's really a fancy medical term for the hardening of your baby's miniature bones. And that's a good thing.Your baby's nerves are making more and more complex connections. Her sense of smell, taste, sight and hearing are all developing. A substance called myelin, which makes nerve connections travel faster, is now coating your baby's nerves.Your baby now weighs between 5 and 7 ounces and is about 5½ inches long—about the size of a pickle from the corner deli. (You're familiar with pickles, right? Your regular accompaniment to a big bowl of ice cream?)
