We're Taking Donations

18 week update, ultrasound results, and another appointment...all in one week. Well first, we'll start out with the less interesting stuff - the 18 week update:

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.

Well, we didn't have to worry about seeing any boy parts. We're having a girl! That's why we're taking donations. Brian's worried this is going to be expensive! Below are our latest photos of Kaylynn Noelle. We didn't get any pictures of her face because she was being stubborn and wouldn't turn over. She gets her stubborness from Brian and her love of sleep from me. :)

This is her whole self.

Here you see a little foot. Actually, a long foot from the looks of it.

This is the shot of proof. We are in fact having a little girl.

This is just a profile of her head.

On Wednesday we go back to the doc to get test results from this ultrasound and my blood work. Fingers crossed for a healthy baby!
