18 weeks down.....the weeks just keep flying by! I felt the first movements in my tummy this past weekend too! We went to a sports bar to watch the Texas Tech vs. Texas football game. By far......best football game I have EVER seen! I've never seen my husband scream so loud! I don't know if it was all the noise or if we have a future Red Raider on our hands (please be an Aggie, please be an Aggie) but I felt the first "popcorn popping" sensation during the game Saturday night. I haven't felt anything again, but I'm sure more is to come. Here is what is going on with our little one:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he'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.

Guns Up Red Raiders! Your little one could do way worse than Texas Tech. We're super pumped about the game tonight. I'm a little scared though. Go Red Raiders!!!
