Your Baby: Week 18

Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.

I'm getting increasingly anxious for our ultrasound on the 27th. Officially 13 days left! I can't wait to know what this baby is and give it a name. I hate just calling it "the baby", it's a person and needs an identity. We will have that crazy discussion of names after we find out ;] Owen insists it is a girl and has the WHOLE time! I'm ok with either, but I think a boy would be more financially friendly ;] Girls have so much cute stuff to buy and with my niece who isn't even her yet, I could go broke buying her stuff... I make myself stay away from the baby aisle. So, we will see. I'm feeling pretty good still. The last few nights I've been up again for about 2 hours... last night it was hard to want to move into a comfy position, cause the way I was laying I could feel baby moving a little bit. Very nice to feel...
