18 weeks 1 day :)

This baby is growing so much!  Weighing in at a whopping 5 to 6 oz. (yep think of that juicy piece of chicken that your eating weighs about as much as my Peanut)  This week Peanut is the size of a sweet potato!  My uterus is now the size of a cantaloupe (HOLY COW)  so you can definitely tell I'm pregnant.  I haven't felt much movement but they say in the next few weeks space will start to shrink for the baby and I will feel all movement and kicks, also maybe hick-ups---- how sweet is that!  What is even more crazy is Peanut is now developing  his/her very own individual finger and toe prints.  

I am absolutely fascinated every week when reading how much the baby is developing and I can NOT wait until the 16th for the big mid way point ultrasound.  Hopefully we have a calm baby in there so we can check everything out and we don't accidentally find out the gender :)  

Also this week I completed the baby blanket for the crib (a tiny little pic of some of it below), so I'm getting more and more excited about all the planning.  Justin also has a wonderful boss that got us a mattress we just need the crib to get it all going!!!

I also found this mobile that matches our fabric PERFECT and I'm about to DIE i need my hands on it now.  I love how you can pick out which animals you want too!!!  Maybe in a few months I can talk the Husband into breaking down and getting a crib and we can set up the baby's corner of the bedroom. YAY!

Oh and a last little point... I have been adding salt and a little more caffeine to my diet (compared to hardly any caffeine) and my blood pressure was 104/62 today... so much better than the 90/62 a couple of weeks ago!  Also I'm up a whopping 7.4lbs!
