18 weeks

It's been 18 weeks already.  Wow.  There are so many changes going on now...inside and out!

According to my baby websites, the baby is the size of a sweet potatoe this week.  Sweet potatoes are gross.  So I found another site that compared the baby to a bell pepper.  Much better.  That I can handle :)  This puts the baby at about 5.5 inches long and about 7 ounces.  The baby is getting so big!!  Growing so fast...which explains why I've been so hungry :)  Just 2 more weeks before we know the sex.  We can't wait!!

 

The baby is doing so much now too...sucking, swallowing, hiccuping, and yawning.  Moving like crazy too...but I still haven't felt the baby yet.  Hopefully soon! 

 

I am supposed to start sleeping on my sides now instead of my back (and it isn't really comfortable anymore to sleep on my tummy anymore.)  I have been trying to sleep on my side but it is hard.  I can't really get comfortable.  But I am not really comfortable on my back either, so I guess I'm just getting to the point that I'm not going to be sleeping well.

 

My clothes are starting to get too tight and my shirts too short.  Stupid boobs getting too big!  I haven't caved and gotten the maternity scrubs yet for work but I'm thinking about it.  Things are going great though.  I can't wait for the baby to arrive!
