18 week update....

What's going on with baby this week:  Baby might be 6.5 to 7 inches long.  Everything I read says baby should weigh 6 to 7 ounces now but this one was 7 ounces a week ago so I don't have an estimate of weight.  Teeth are beginning to form.  The baby has definite periods of rest and activity.  I should begin to feel these active times soon but given my anterior placenta and retroverted uterus it may still be a while.  (A retroverted uterus means it's tilted towards my back instead of to the front.)

How do I feel:  Feeling well.  The only thing out of the ordinary is my stuffy nose right now.

What am I eating:  Back to normal I'd say.  I did have a serving of chicken at work the other day and it was fine.  Still loving fruit like tangerines, grapes and dried cherries.

What I miss:  Nothing really.  

What I'm looking forward to:  Having more of a definite baby bump vs just looking extra fat.  I don't really like the pic but am posting one taken today so that I'll be able to follow the growth of this baby-belly.
