Week 18 - Our Sweet Potato

Almost...halfway...there.

Wow. I can't believe it's 18 weeks already. Although I'm ready for it to be week 40.
I think that uncomfortable stage is starting. The backpain, the skin stretching, the uncontrollable gas. To the lady behind me at Bed, Bath and Beyond, I'm sorry. I'm kidding! At least about the lady at Bed, Bath and Beyond. Oh jeez. Should have left that last one out, huh? TMI.

Next week is the "big" appointment. Is it a girl? Is it a boy? That is, if we were going to find out what the sex was it would be the "big" appointment. Still a no go. But at least we'll get to see the little munchkin again! I'll be sure to post those u/s pictures next week.

According to the baby websites he/she/it is about 6 inches long and 7 oz! Around the size of a sweet potato (hence the clever title). I think there was a major growth spurt since the last time I wrote my last entry. I feel like I've blown up! With Ry gone the last week and a half I wasn't eating exactly home cooked meals. That would explain the almost 5 lb weight increase in JUST a week. I'm lucky I have the pregnancy excuse.

I can feel the little bean kicking more and even turning, especially when I eat hot food. Hey, this baby is half Indian, we have to start early! Get them used to those hot spices!

And now for your veiwing pleasure...or pain, the most recent belly pics:

You look great. My belly practically looks that size and I can't blame it on the kids any longer.

Love, Aunt Camille
