Here I am at 18 weeks! I'm looking bigger and bigger every day. And for the first time I will include a picture with my very round face! By this week the baby is about 5 inches long and weighs about 51/4 ounces. It is practicing breathing and may even get the hiccups from time to time. Speaking of the hiccups - I have them ALL the time. I get them at least 5 times a day and always at night before I go to bed.
I feel good, although I have almost fainted a few times. You know in movies and on TV they always show a woman fainting and that's how she knows she's having a baby! Well, I guess there is some truth to it. I guess it's pretty common for pregnant women to have low blood pressure. The first time it happened to me I was in a maternity store - they must be used to it there!
Two more weeks and I go for the BIG ultrasound - Yes, I know I've been saying that for a long time (Michaella!), but this time it's for sure. I go to the doctor this coming Monday for my regular check up and then for the ultrasound 2 weeks from Friday. Keep your fingers crossed that the baby isn't feeling "shy" that day! And get your votes in on the poll, it closes on March 6th!
