Week 18 Update

Here is the week 18 update from babycenter.com
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.

Last week I had a routine doctor appointment. It went just fine and the baby's heartbeat was 150.  Then last weekend Alex and I took a vacation to Duluth and the north shore. It was a lot of fun and very foggy.

Nothing much else happened this past week. I am still anxiously waiting to feel my baby moving, but there has been nothing yet that I "know" is baby movements.

My devotional didn't really inspire me today, so I'm just gonna skip writing about it this week. Hopefully next week will be more of an inspiration to write about. I ask for prayer this week for 2 things: one is that I get to feel baby move soon, and the other is that God shows Alex and I how He will care for us financially. We looked over our budget this week and it doesn't look pretty.

Thanks for reading, hopefully I'll feel like writing more next week. Baby bump picture to come later today I hope :)
