Feeling Movement!

I finally felt the little munchkin move the other night. I was laying in bed trying to get to sleep. It was pretty exciting and called for waking up Dustin to celebrate. I can't say that he was very excited to be woken up.....lol who is. But its so reassuring to know that our little one is still growing in there. It now a nightly occurrence that I look forward to. The rest of the day I'm usually so wrapped up in school and the movement is so faint I usually don't notie it too often.

We're having our second ultrasound on Thursday and hopefully going to be able to see if its a Caleb or a Lily in there. Can't wait!

Week 18's happenings:

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.
