18 Weeks


Head to rump, Baby is 5 1/2 inches long (the size of a bell pepper) and weighs almost 7 ounces. Finger pads are developing and baby's hearing is so finely tuned, it can be startled by loud noises from outside. Baby can also hear Mommy's heart beating. Can it hear when Mommy sings in the car? The baby websites say that the baby can see the light from a flashlight if you hold it to Mommy's belly. But, Daddy thinks this is incredibly mean so we cannot test this theory! Mommy is getting hungrier and hungrier every day--the new shipment of maternity clothes has been ordered. Mommy can't wait for them to get here! Stay tuned for next week when Baby's sonogram photos will be posted.

You do not need maternity clothes you silly girl. You don't even have a baby bump yet! You guys are super planners! I'd say maybe when you are 6 months. Your tummy still looks flat to me!
