I am 17 going on 18.. weeks that is..

Well right now I am in the middle of my 17th week.. I am just getting bigger and bigger.. I've been reading that the baby's heart is finally being regulated by his brain.. And we went to the doctors office this past thursday, and the baby's heart beat was perfect, so that tells me our baby has a good brain =)

In week 18 the baby is getting bigger! Big enough to be able to start feeling all of his kicks and punches! I have been feeling lots of movements, like when he flips or twists or turns, and that alone is pretty exciting for me, but I can't wait for the defining movements!

We won't be able to find out the gender until September! But we are thinking about looking into one of those 3D sonograms that you can get at an outside place.  We'll see. We just want to know!!!!

Oh, and this is my week 17 baby bump picture! Just before the midnight showing of Harry Potter!! ((( And NO Brant, we won't name her Hermione if it is a girl!)))

16 Weeks!

Well I read that in 16 weeks my baby's ears are finally in place, since before they were on the neck, =/
and that means she can hear me now!! HAHA yay!  My favorite thing is to sing my favorite song, Pure Imagination, from Willy Wonka.   oh poor baby =)

 


Also the muscles are hardening especially in the back,  so some movement is getting easier to feel.  When I lay really still on my side I can feel a little roll or toss every once in a while, that is the coolest feeling ever. 

And dang! I have that baby bump going on..  Everyone notices now and it is so funny to see the reactions.  Less and less of my regular clothes are fitting but luckily we've picked up a few maternity clothes already. And some thanks to my grandma. 

I keep having terrible headaches and some cramps in my stomach, but I think that is the baby making room by moving all my organs around.  And man am I tired. =)
