18 weeks


This week has been amazing! Baby is moving a LOT! The fluttering has intensified and now I also feel kicks on the inside and outside! On Sunday it even had hiccups and Chad felt it move for the first time. :)

Baby is about 5.5 inches long and weighs about 7 oz. This is about the size of a bell pepper. In the next two weeks it will grow significantly, just another reason I am counting down for week 20. The reason I am probably feeling stronger kicks and movement is that his/her little bones are turning harder, so there is more force backing the kicks.

As far as my own changes, I can no longer sleep on my belly or back because there is too much weight there now and it hurts too much. This really restricts me, as if getting up to go pee 34739 times a night doesn't wake me up enough! But other than that, I still can't complain about being pregnant. I have had a really easy one so far!
