Week 18

Today marks the 18th week of our pregnancy. Next Thursday we find out if we are having a little UT VOL cheerleader or football player! We're so excited!

We decided not to reveal the baby names this week. Instead, we'll torture everyone one more week and you can find out next Thursday!

Here's a little info about what's going on with the little one this week who is now the size of a sweet potato:

Your baby is hitting the height chart at five and a half inches long (remember, that's crown to rump) and weighs about five ounces (the weight of that boneless chicken breast you're making for dinner).

And now for the skill of the week (drum roll please…): The art of the yawn has been mastered by your baby (someone's sleepy!). In fact, you might catch a glimpse of that adorable yawn if you're getting an ultrasound this month. You'll also catch a glimpse of all the fetal movement your baby's doing — twists, rolls, kicks, and punches. And would you believe your baby is finally big enough for you to start feeling those movements now (or anytime in the next few weeks). So get ready!


As long as the paperwork goes through, we have found our next home! It's quite a cute townhouse over in West Seattle, which is about 20 minutes and across the water from where we live now. We will actually have a better waterview there then we currently have which is always nice! We should know pretty soon and can't move in until January. We're excited!
