18 Weeks...

Head to rump, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and 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. 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, although he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
How I am doing:
*I started to feel the baby move last week.
*My gall bladder has not been hurting me too much and that has been nice. I hope that continues.
*My energy level has started to come back, but there are days that I am very tired when I get home from work and want to do nothing at all.
*No belly pictures yet, but I will get some posted soon.
The Baby:
*Went to the doctor on Wednesday and heard the heartbeat again. The heartbeat was a good 156-162bpm.
*Very active and I feel him/her move more everyday.
The count down is on...We will find out what we are having on January 27th at 3:30pm. If everything goes well then we will be able to tell you all and really start planning for this babies arrival. We have been doing a lot of talking, but wanted to wait until we knew boy or girl before we started buying anything.
Boy or Girl?
I am still not really feeling either way. Some days I really think boy and then another day it is all girl. We will know soon enough!

Glad you're feeling well! You all will find out what you're having before Ryan and I do! How exciting!

Tell Brandon we saw him on TV the other night- so handsome in his suit!

Can't wait to see if Peyton gets a brother or sister. I think it's time to give your poor parents a boy!!!! :)
