18 Weeks
Happy Thanksgiving! Today marks the beginning of my 18th week of pregnancy and we have a lot to be thankful for! Developments for the baby include:
-lengthening to 5 1/2 inches (or the length of a bell pepper)
-blood vessels are visible through its skin
-flexing of the arms and legs is more active
-its ears are in their final place (why did it have moving ears in the first place?!)
Over the past 3 days my belly has finally begun to pop! I’m sure Thanksgiving dinner today will aid in that progress! I keep thinking about the Friends Thanksgiving episode when Joey wears Phoebe’s maternity pants to dinner. I am thankful for maternity pants.
