Hello baby bump

So technically I'm only 3 days from being 18 weeks and I just started getting the bump.  WOW does it grow fast!. I guess there is a large Cantaloupe in there and I can defiantly feel it.  Finally broke down and visited the Gap maternity store. 


Here is the most recent baby update for this week

The baby is about the size of your palm, weighs about five ounces, about the size of a baked potato for those of you that like to compare the baby to your favorite food item. What else is up? Our baby is hard at work honing his sucking and swallowing reflexes—all the better for eating that 2 AM (and 5 AM, and 8 AM ...) meal in a few months! The finger- and toenails are beginning to grow from their nail beds, which would explain why he'll need them trimmed almost as soon as he's born! For those of you in our family interested in the dental stuff, this week she will start to develop tooth enamel.


Its amazing that I'm almost half way through already!. I'm sure the next 20 weeks won't go as fast but I hope I enjoy them as much as I have so far. Any day now i might feel he or she move. And in 18 days we will know if we will have a little boy or little girl on the way. Stay tuned! for that news. I'll post the Big news as soon as we find out.


In the mean time!. Cast your vote!.. Tell us what your guess is.. Boy or Girl??

Here is another old wives tale to ponder over and maybe help make your guess.  

If you have morning sickness that seems to last all day long and last for longer than your first trimester, then you are having a girl.

I had morning sickness until about week 16. To this day still can't even smell chicken let alone think about eating it. Who knows if that will ever go away.  Brushing my teeth is very difficult to do, makes me gag. Such a great thing to look forward to every morning and night.    My morning sickness was not at its worst in the AM but actually worse in the afternoon and night.  I think most of that is related to car sickness though. Still to this day driving in the car in the afternoon in stop and go traffic in the heat is a sure thing to make me nauseated.   Maybe that will help you with your guess.   I know what mine is but I'm not telling.......
