18 weeks today, peanut is 5 1/2 inches long from head to bum, and about 7 ounces, and still loving to dance to music.
now i have been feeling movement for a month now, and daniel was able to feel the baby move a week ago, but every thing i read tells me that i should just now be feeling movement and to not get my hopes up about sharing this experience because my "significant other" won't be able to feel anything for another few weeks.
so either daniel and i (and peanut) are just going to have to come to grips with being above average, or i am farther along in my baby growing process then we thought. tuesday when i go in for the ultrasound a lot of things will be checked out, including the due date prediction, so we will know wether to plan differently for an august or earlier baby.
i am so very aware of my uterus these days. i can actually feel the thing when i'm getting up from lying down or sitting and especially when i'm walking, feels like a water filled cantaloup in my belly. my whole sense of gravity is being thrown off. i remember when i was in drama classes in high school, we walked around the room to find what we 'lead' with, some with their heads (nerds), some with their hips (typically girls), some with their stomach (typically those who are larger, or proud), some with their feet (people who are always in a rush). my 'lead' has changed from hips to stomach in the matter of a week.
not that i'm fat and not that i'm proud... okay so i am getting much larger and i'm very proud of that, so maybe the stereotypes aren't too far off.
