18 weeks


This is a picture of me at 18 weeks, or at about the beginning of the forth month. As you can see, my belly is growing quite rapidly at this point. The baby is only about 5 1/2 inches (or about as long as a bell pepper), but is somehow causing all this...Already I am able to feel the baby move everyday, which is really exciting. We plan to have another ultrasound at 20 weeks. At this appointment they will take all kinds of measurements and (hopefully) will be able to tell us the sex - check back later to find out! There was some early "evidence" at 12 weeks that I am carrying a little boy, but in general it is a little too early to know for sure at that point. We are really happy and exicted that everything is going so well thus far! I feel like the time is going by so quickly.

Will Mikeydoodle be posting pictures of his growing belly too?

your belly has the same curve as that plant behind you (maybe its prego as well)!

I'm disappointed that the picture wasn't one of your "semi-nudes" LOL :-)
The picture makes you look more pregnant than you do normally, maybe you should put your hand there all the time, so you can always get a seat on the bus.
