18 Weeks

Okay Lindsey is not really feeling it tonight so a quick update from the sperm donor. This week has been fairly un-eventful. Lindsey is feeling much better and actually gaining weight. She is super excited about this fact but I foresee a time in the future where she will be stressing about gaining too much weight. (ahhh women???) We had company this weekend which was nice as Lindsey's dad drove a bunch of furniture out and we actually got a lot accomplished. We got Baby V's room painted. See pics below and got a lot of other projects done around the house. Lindsey's dad also generously purchased Baby V's dresser see pics below. Thanks Greg!!! Last night Lindsey felt a weird sensation in her stomach which we believe might have been the baby kicking. Too cool!!!. Tonight I think we finally decided on a Baby V's name. We shall call him ........ Sorry folks but you will have to wait until he is born. We are keeping this one a secret. Love all of you

And here we are with the finished product...



Phase 1...DONE!





And here is your 18 week Baby V progress report...Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
