18 weeks

Wow, cant believe it is just 2 weeks til the 1/2 way point of the pregnancy. I was hoping to post about my u/s, but it was postponed til thursday of this week. I guess Drs. can get sick too. When they called to cancel, I was really tempted to ask for a $50 fee, since that is what they tell you they will charge if you cancel within 48 hours. I didnt. I just took the next available appt.

I am feeling good this week. The food cravings have really kicked in. This week I am really wanting pink grapefruit, strawberries and Dean's French Onion dip. One is healthier than the other. I have eaten 2 pint packages of strawberries since Monday. I probably wont want any more after this. So far, except for the dean's, my cravings have been for semi-healthy stuff. Guess i can be glad for that.

The baby is the size of a bell pepper this week - 5 1/2 inches and 7 oz. I learned that the length measurements from 1-20 weeks is from head to rump. After 20 weeks, the measurements go from head to toe since the baby is not as curled up.

I have been working on nursery ideas. I was able to get a crib from a friend and it will work perfectly. That is a big releif. And it has set some of the tone of the nursery. I have identified some other furniture and been designing the color scheme on my computer. I think we are using the Modern Basics' green frog crib set, so things will match that.
