Week 18~ Hungry Hungry Baby :)

So we had our ultrasound yesterday and got to see ALOT of Bean!!! One of the first things that Bean wanted to show us was that SHE...yes I said SHE... was hungry! She was opening and closing her mouth, sticking her tongue out and licking her placenta... who would have thought placenta tasted good! :) See that big bump thing above her... that's the placenta. So after alot of shots, and measuring and getting her to open her legs... Ultrasound tech Trina said, "I don't see anything wrong with her from an ultrasound prespective." GREAT!!! She was measuring right on time (a few days ahead), heart, kidneys, spine and brain looked good. So it looks as those she is in good shape... and we'll just go with that for now! I will be seeing my new doctor on February 2nd in South Dakota and will see how he wants to continue to monitor this pregnancy. We are happy for a good scan and another little GIRL!!!

How far along? 18 weeks 5 days
EDD: 6/3/12

Weight gain/loss:  Stayed the same from my last appointment on 12/22/11... pretty good for over the holidays! 

Next Ultrasound: Hopefully will know after our next appointment in February.

Size of baby:  Sweet Potato... yummm... sweet potato fries!

Gender: ALL GIRL!!! So my maternal instinct was not that good... maybe I was just hoping for a boy. Over the last week or so though I've been thinking girl... had about three dreams where the baby was a girl!Maternity clothes? Yeah... I've got to get me some of those!

Stretch marks:  Just the old ones.

Sleep: Yes please :)

Best moment this week: Seeing Bean and knowing that she is look'in good! 

Food cravings: Not so much this week.

Pregnancy Signs: Not to many obivious ones... acne, sore boobs and alittle belly.

Movement: Yeppers... I'm pretty sure it's her now :)

What I miss: I guess I never had it, so how can I miss it, but a normal, low stress pregnancy... do they come that way?

What I am looking forward to: Our move. And starting to look forward to seeing KK as a BIG SIS!
