18 Weeks

I'm horrible! i'm a day late AGAIN! ugh and it's 11 o'clock on the day after my 18 week mark :( what the crap?
well in my defense this last week has just flown by and i've been so busy getting ready for the weekend i'm a little distracted, that and i'm pregnant so i can't be expected to remember everything perfectly all the time. 
We've been really boring this week, minus the fact that we cleaned the baby room as much as we really can at this point! I put our dresser/secretary desk on ksl.com so that we'll have room for a crib and a changing table and we'll figure out where to keep our junk later on. 
Drew has been able to feel the baby kick at least once a day and the other day we sat there for a while and just felt it go bop bop bop some were small little nudges and others were EARTHQUAKES it's so crazy! I can't believe it sometimes and i tell people that the baby is moving like crazy and they think i'm complaining. are you kidding? seriously? why on earth would i complain about something so magical? 

So Drew and I are going to find out on April 7 if it's a girl or a boy BUT you guys won't know until the night of the ninth or the tenth! That's right we're keeping it to ourselves for almost 3 whole days. The reasoning is that I want to tell my parents in person but i don't want to act like i'm playing favorites so drew and i are having a party with all our parents the night of the ninth because that's the soonest a lot of them could make it up and have it be convenient. 
About weight, i start most mornings off at around 107 and end them anywhere from 110 to 112

Baby time :) I'm using the non quarter picture this week because i like this one better, i think it shows the size better than saying a bell pepper and counting the stem. (how lame is that)
5 1/2 inches long and 7 oz
SO.  The heart is fully formed so that now when we have our ultrasound they can make sure everything is right because if it's not right by now, it won't get right (but i'm sure everything is right ) baby has more tastebuds than are needed but if i eat something too spicy mmm that fluid is going to taste of it :) OH  my favorite so far! the ear bones are FULLY formed so baby can hear anything outside of my tummy so when you talk to him/her, you will be heard! As we already know,baby is kicking, elbowing, punching, and kneeing not to mention just pushing out so their little body pushes hard against the sides, man that's got to be the weirdest sensation i've had so far. Also if you know science myelin is starting to surround the nerves and the brains which i love biology so i think little details like that are pretty darn amazing. mmm but baby can hear! i love that :) i love it so much!

thanks for following you guys! we really do appreciate you reading (and not complaining about my horrible spelling, grammar, lack of sense, and lack of capitalization/too much caps)

AND  GUESS IF IT'S A BOY OR A GIRL! I WANT TO KNOW WHAT EVERYONE THINKS!
