Today marks 18 weeks for Little Baby Branco! I have an appointment today at 3:45pm and I am so excited! A.C. can't be at this appointment because he is working so I am taking my sister with me... EXCITING! I'm bringing a recorder to record the whole appointment and the heartbeat so A.C. can listen to it when he gets home today. He doesn't know this yet though, its a surprise! He will be soooo happy!
This is how our baby is growing:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
I get a pluthera of emails from many different baby sites and they update me each and every week on our baby's growth. :)
