First of all, Pregnancy is not 9 months, it's closer to ten. I am 18 weeks now (40 weeks is the length of pregnancy) so, almost halfway there!
Second of all, only one week until we have the anatomy ultrasound and HOPEFULLY see if Baby Bogert is a HE or a SHE! This week better fly by, we are on the edge of our seats!
In the 18th week of pregnancy...some things happening with the baby are:
Baby Bogert is 6 inches long already and weigh more than 7 ounces! (the avg. weight of an extra large apple)
Baby B is moving all around and practices reflexes
Baby B can sense bright light - if you hold a flashlight directly to the belly, the baby will instinctively move it's arms to cover his/her eyes
Baby can now hear noises outside the womb. He/She can easily hear mom's voice and loud noises (eh hem...Humphrey's bark?)
Baby's "boy/girl parts" are formed now and distinguishable by ultrasound!! Soon!
