Today we are 18 weeks along in this pregnancy. The last 4 weeks have gone by relatively fast. From week 3 1/2 (when we found out) to week 14 I thought this baby would just live forever in my belly. Time dragged so much despite of being in the middle of crazy summer camp. I think it helps that it isn't some big secret anymore.
Bryce and I every Sunday get on babycenter.com and read about what our baby is doing this week and how he/she is growing. We do it on Sunday even though Monday marks are week updates because we are usually way too busy on Mondays. They typically compare your baby to some fruit or vegetable. When we first went on this site are shrimp was the size of a poppy seed. Then at week 12 or 13 when we started telling people it was the size of a lime. Now at week 18, this week, the shrimp is the size of a bell pepper. Bryce and I LOVE bell peppers so we are really liking week 18 so far!
We are not finding out the sex. In fact, at our ultrasound last Wednesday when it came time to look at his/her bum they told us we might want to look away until they finish looking and measuring whatever it was they were calculating. Bryce looked away and I decided not to because I knew I would have no clue what I was looking at. So there I stared right at the shrimps private parts and I still have no idea what we are having! I asked the technician if she could tell because I knew it depended on whether he/she was cooperating. She quickly said Oh yeah! So funny! Everything looked good and healthy though which we are very thankful for. Also, I call this baby he a lot for the sake of not saying or writing he/she every time I am referring to him. So no it is not a boy or yes may be it is. Who knows? I have no intuition about it just like the simplicity of one name.
Enjoy the pictures!
this one is a foot...i realize they are hard to tell
this one is more of a full body, but i love how
his arms are crossed and next to his face
