18 weeks 18 weak-s~

Boy, this pregnancy is tiring....not complaining, just observing. My feet handle about 3 hours worth of walking and/or moving around then boom boom boom boom, that's how they feel/sound afterwards.

Belly Belly ~looks so much better with clothes on! My white-ness is blinding!




Babies this week:
Your baby measures about 5.2 to 6 inches (13-15cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 7 ounces (200g).

The buds for the permanent teeth are forming behind those that have already developed for the first teeth.

Your baby's nervous system and brain development continue at a spectacular pace. By this week, your baby's motor neurons, which connect muscle to the brain, have grown into place so that your baby can consciously direct her movements. Millions of neurons inside your baby's brain are growing and forming connections and the nerves in her body are being covered in a fatty substance called myelin.

Your baby's ears are now placed on the sides of her head and her limbs are now in proportion. Your baby's tiny foot is just one inch long, but is in perfect proportion to the rest of her leg.

Your baby can hear your voice and recognize it.

This weekend: Daddy & I went and bought two CD's to have the twins listen to while they bake! Baby Einstein's Mozart & Beethoven edition. I've been placing the headphones on my belly and playing Mozart all weekend. I'll switch Satursday, one week Mozart next week Beethoven...

Me, weighed in at 141 (yikes!) I haven't been over 140 since 2001 or even prior to that. I was a whopping 149 at my biggest...I'm expecting to easily surpass that!

Night time....
