18 wks

baby CJ (or B) is now 18 wks, we are almost half way now!!!
B is size of a sweet potato


yes I know you are thinking this looks more like a mouldy and hairy chicken fillet than a sweet potato! Well I am..Mind you I don't eat sweet potato, so maybe they do look like this....

Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long, and she weighs almost 7 ounces . She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin, and her ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from her head a bit. Think Prince Charles....A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound. Weird to think Baby CJ's oven is in place already! Hope hers works!!!
