18 weeks!

Week 18: Sweet Potato. Average fetus — 14.2 cm, 190 grams. 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 have DEFINITELY been feeling flutters, especially the last few days. Such a neat thing, and knowing that they are just going to get stronger is very exciting. Well, except for when the baby is kicking into my ribs or bouncing on my bladder! I just love that it is compared to a sweet potato.. so cute. Reminds me of Toy Story when Mrs. Potato head calls Mr. Potato her little sweet potato!

As I grow bigger, I can feel the waddle coming on, more so after a long day, or when I am walking home from taking Ben to daycare. My rain coat is snug, and it sure shows I have a pregger belly! Gonna have to come up with a solution for that, one that doesn't involve a poncho!

And I will try once again to get a decent picture taken of me! Maybe Cathy can take one this weekend if we go for a visit :D
