18 Weeks

Well, it has been a while since I last blogged. There really hasn't been a whole lot to report. Today Jennifer completes the 18th week of pregnancy. We should be able to tell if the baby is a boy or a girl by now. We have an appointment to find out tomorrow! We are both really anxious to discover the sex of our baby. We hope that there is full cooperation. Stay tuned to find out what we are having...

Here is another excerpt from babycenter.com. It is pretty interesting information.

Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a large sweet potato) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable, though he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.

-He better not!
