Baby Pavey Update: Week 18

Its our anniversary, three years today!! Off to go celebrate

3 years ago today!

It’s already week 18! Though we are still on vacation and have little computer access I wanted to be sure to give a small week 18 update.

(from baby center)

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.

Personal Updates:

Cravings/Food: I’m starting to really get hungary now, which is a good thing i guess. Some of my new favorite treats, bagels with cream cheese, well done poached eggs, trader joes creamy yogurt, and of course anything with LOTS of cheese!

Bump:  So far its starting to be more noticeable, though people are still questioning if I am actually pregnant, hahah I really am! People are telling me when I ‘pop’ it will be much more obvious.. Anything with a waist line (pants, shorts and skirts) are too snug to be comfy, I have been living in my leggins and my new maternity shorts..

Nursery Update: Photos to come soon, since we know the gender we will be able to decorate fully and have everything put together.. We even got a tiny going home outfit while we were here in Cannon Beach.. Everything is so tiny and cute its hard to not buy a lot of clothes!
