Just Tell Us Already!!!

We are 18 weeks as of today...Two more weeks and Jessi is half way through our pregnancy. We are very excited to go to Folly Beach this weekend for Susan's wedding and have a good time and relax. Looking back it seems to have gone by quickly....how soon we both forgot the morning sickness and overall yucky feeling! We must just be excited!


Well Jessi is getting very anxious to find out if "Peanut"is a BOY or a GIRL! Only 11 more days!! Not that it will matter either way, but she is just curious. Tomasz says that "Peanut" already knows what he/she is and we just need to be patient. Easier said than done!! Jessi still feels very strongly that we are having a girl, and will be shocked if the doctor tells us otherwise. Tomasz is not sure because based off of all the old myths he thinks it could be either...he does know that Jessi has been eating allot of pickles and that is the sign of a boy.


Here is how big our little "Peanut" is now!




What Is Happening To Your Baby

Your baby is 5.59 inches (14.2 cm) in total length and weighs about 6.7 ounces (190 g).

Your baby’s ears are approaching their final position. Your baby’s eyes are also developing as they’re starting to face forward and their retinas may be able to detect light.

Your baby’s bones will continue to harden and the pads for his fingers and toes are formed. They will gain the characteristic swirls and creases that form finger and toe prints.

The meconium (an early fecal waste matter) will start to be collected in the intestines. If the baby is a boy, the prostate will begin developing as well.

The baby’s heart is starting to build up muscle and is starting to pump out about 25 to 30 quarts of blood a day.
