Today is the start of my 18th week. From what I've read, our baby is now about 5 1/2 inches long and weighs about 7 ounces. He or she should be able to hear us now. I feel like I should start talking to myself (or to the baby) more so he/she can get used to my voice. I did read the baby a free book that I downloaded on the ipad, "The Little Engine That Could". I felt silly and when I was done, Dave said I should speak more clearly. It's true, I actually thought about that as I was reading, I really should use better annunciation. I was slurring all my words together, mostly because I wanted to get it over with once I had started, but also because I tend to do that.
Two more weeks to go until our next ultrasound and we get to find out if it's a boy or a girl! I'm so excited to know which it is I can barely stand it. My mom said that they didn't have the technology to tell her what sex she was having when she had us. Yet, with all five kids, she knew what she was having and brought either blue or pink to the hospital. I don't know how the heck you would know?!
I'm so excited we'll be there the day you find out!!! More to celebrate!
ReplyDeleteWe were *sure* we were having a boy the first time. Everyone told me it looked like a boy from the way I was carrying. Dead wrong! We could not have been more excited. 2nd time around we were sure it was another girl. Wrong again! I've so enjoyed being wrong both times.
ReplyDeleteHaha. Well I have NO idea, so we'll see. I have 6 nephews on my side, so naturally a girl would be a nice surprise, but obviously either will be perfect.
