I am now in the 18th week of my pregnancy. Baby B now measures approximately 5.5 inches long and weighs around 7 ounces. The coolest development this week: Myelin sheath around nerves starts to form. We are all about that special, protective coating here! And it will continue to develop up to a year after Baby B is born.
I'm starting to hear that now is the time I'm supposed to start sleeping on my side because my uterus could compress a major vein which could cause decreased return of blood flow to my heart. That's no bueno, so, side it is. Every once in a while I like to sleep on my back... but back no more. I've already had to give up my favorite... sleeping on my tummy. It's a sacrifice I'm totally willing to make though... totally worth it!
Keep your eyes peeled for my next ultrasound! Coming this way next week! This particular ultrasound is of most interest. I'm hoping we'll find out if we are having a boy or girl. Hopefully Baby B will not be shy next week!
Baking an apple pie and it smells delicious! Can't wait to eat it!
Yep, that pretty much covers it. Hope everyone has had a wonderful day!
