18 Weeks!

October 3, 2012

What Little LaCasse is up to:
  • Vernix forms on the baby's skin
  • Placenta continues to grow and nourish the baby
  • Alveoli begin to form in the lungs
  • Vocal cords are formed and the baby can cry
  • Ventricles and heart chambers are visible on ultrasound
  • Length (5.59 inches); weight (6.7 oz)
What We've Been Up To:
  • Anatomy scan is one week away! Found out the practice we are using has 4D machines and captures the whole session on DVD!
  • I can hear the baby moving a lot with the doppler, but am still not feeling much
  • I've hit a wall of fatigue again and can fall asleep at the drop of a hat
  • Got my first set of presents for the baby (totally unexpected). An owl book from my friend, Sarah, and a ton of baby necessities and hand-me-down maternity clothes from my sister-in-law's sister, Ronette.
  • Had a long, hearty discussion about labor, delivery, and raising a newborn with Ronette, who has a 19 month old son
  • Finished making tissue poms for the gender party
  • Found the pack and play, with the attachable changing table and vibrating bassinet that I wanted for 1/3 of the price
  • Dyed my hair after doing immense amounts of research regarding the safety of the baby and talking to my midwife
  • Gained 1 pound!
Hope that 1 pound went to my belly!

Baby is a mango!
Pretty sure I've never bought a mango that was actually ripe, and therefore, they have always been gross.
