"YOUR MOOD SWINGS ARE GIVING ME WHIPLASH"

That's what is happening to me... one minute I am laughing and the next I am crying... YIKES!

I have a GREAT video of my last ultrasound at Dr. Denker's office - it's amazing!! I can see the baby opening and closing his mouth and sucking his thumb. I will post the video tonight!

Tomorrow is my 18-week ultrasound appointment and I am excited! This is the ultrasound that most of the time will be the GENDER ultrasound! I am going to re-confirm that it is for sure a BOY!

Sometimes based on what genetic testing you are allowing this ultrasound will look for genetic markers (Downs).

Update on my bleed: I have not bled in a few weeks... which means I will probably bleed soon. I hope not. My doctor insist that it's the second baby that did not make it trying to make its way out (breaking-up, shifting) that is cause the bleeds. I am trying not to let it freak me out. I wear a panty liner all day as I have brown old blood 99% of the time.

I am 18-weeks this week (Thursday) and I feel good. I am not showing like I thought I would. I think it's because I was "curvy" to begin with and the cute baby bump I should have is under the fat I have. It's kind of pushed my fat out a bit... but I don;t think I look pregnant - which sucks!

The baby is about 5 1/2 inches long and 5 to 7 ounces in weight. That sounds really tiny to me. I can feel him inside me! Or at least I think I can - LOL. It feels like something pinching me - kinda. Or a very light twitch/thump. I would not say "fluttering" as everyone else says. The baby likes music, I play music on my belly at night and in the mornings and he moves around most of the time. He likes steel drum music the best - like his dad!

Well that's it for now... tomorrow I will have more updates about how the baby is doing. I am excited to see him and hear his heartbeat for sure!
