Week 18
Topic: Baby
MOM
I think I felt Baby! Last Tuesday, while in line to buy lunch (perhaps that has something to do with it??), I started feeling a sort of twitching a bit higher and more to the left than I was anticipating. Later, at my desk, I felt it again. Then again in bed, when I was eating a strawberry popsicle… Could it be?

Tummy continues to grow, as well as other parts, which Colby is quite pleased with. =)

BABY
Baby's limbs are lengthening, and at last, body length is catching up to head size. Bones are still malleable but are beginning to ossify. The ears are almost in position. Pads are forming on the fingertips and toes, and the eyes are looking forward rather than out the sides of the head. Meconium, the baby's first bowel movement, is accumulating within the bowel. If it’s a boy, which we’ll find out this Tuesday, his prostate gland is beginning to develop. Cute, huh?
