Another Thursday, another week. Week 18!!

Here is the update from The Baby Center website this week...

How your baby's 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.

In other news...went to Richmond to Chippenham Hospital a couple days ago for another ultrasound. They want me to go every 4 weeks now. So much for switching doctors offices so I wouldn't have to travel as much. I thought going to Newport News was bad enough, guess not. LOL Oh well, I will do whatever it takes to make sure everything is going well, even if it includes about a little over 3 hours round trip drive every 4 weeks. *Uhh, get back on track to the news Lisa* So anyway, everything looked great, Heart rates fine, growth right on track (Baby A over 7 oz. and baby B 8oz), anatomy (heart structure, bowels, legs, arms, etc) Speaking of anatomy...I did see what the gender of the babies were, well at least one definite one questionable still. I also see Dee sent out a email to about 25 people with the announcement, but just in case she did not tell a few family members I will not post that here.

Well, Amanda is waiting (not very patiently I may add) to use the computer to play her Facebook games. My next appointment is March 17th at my reg. OBGYN for the routine prenatal check-up. Then it is off to Connecticut where I will see Dr. Viscarello with Dee and JJ. I can't wait until that appointment where they will get to see them and hear the heartbeats in person, and maybe more confirmation on the sexes. :)
