Tomorrow's the big day! We'll be heading to Muskegon for the ultrasound after a day of hanging out with Grammy and Uncle Nate (who's in town for the week). And no, Calvin, there's no chance we'll change our minds and want to be "surprised" when the baby's born about whether it's a boy or a girl! :) I'll post the U/S pics on here as soon as I can, but in the meantime, here's a "generic" update on where the baby is at this stage of the game.
YOUR BABY THIS WEEK...Week 18
You’re gaining weight and your baby is too, weighing over 5 ounces (.14 kg), and measuring over 5 inches (13 cm) in length. What an adorable pair you are!
Your Baby: Baby's rapid growth period begins to slow down, but his or her facial features starting to form. Your baby can now yawn, frown, smile, and make other facial expressions. Taste buds have developed, and your baby can sense bitter from sweet, and swallowing reflexes are now present. He or she may even start getting the hiccups! Because baby's eyes are still developing, they're very sensitive. If a light is shined onto your belly, your baby might flinch and try to cover his or her face.
The life and times of Kyle, Abby, Ashlyn and Maguire!
