18 Weeks!

This week Baby L is the size of a mango and about 6 inches long! Arms and legs are in proportion and s/he is making more and more movements!

On Sunday I felt s/he for the first time! I was sitting on our back screen porch with my pups and kind of leaning over when I felt a little wave. So I sat up and again I felt the "wave" 2 more times! It was such a surreal moment. I havent felt anything since, but I do get weird pains down there which I friend just told me she read that it could be the baby stretching and pressing on my cervix.

Odd Craving of the Week: Last night my sweet hubby ran to the kitchen to get me oranges and....MILK. ugh, would never eat this together but it was SO GOOD.

Tuesday we get to have another ultrasound! We are seeing the specialist Dr. Wright so he can take an in depth look at the baby's heart due to my nephew having open heart surgery when he was born. This one will take 30 minutes because the doctor will check all parts of the baby like the liver, kidneys, chambers of the heart etc. We are also going to have the dr. write the gender of the baby in an envelope so we can open the first night in our new house!
