IT'S A GIRL!!!!!!

We went to the doctor yesterday and it was amazing! We had an ultrasound and found out that baby X is a baby xx! She was absolutely beautiful! She moved the entire time and kicked, it was cool. She weighs about 9 ounces now and the doctor says everything looks great. Her heartbeat is very strong too! I will be putting some new ultrasound pictures up soon. YAY FOR MORE GIRLS!!!!
PS - name suggestions?!!?!?

week 18

Head to rump, 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. 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.

Week 16

We are getting ready for a growth spurt - which also means a mommys tummy spurt! In the next few weeks, baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as he continues to develop... only 15 more days til we find out if it is a boy or girl!!!! YAY!
