18 Weeks - Baby 2

Pregnancy Update January 25, 2014




How far along: 18 Weeks.

Size of baby: 5.6 inches, 6.7oz. A sweet potato! :)

What developed this past week: His bones are starting to harden (from cartilage). One of the first are the inner ear bones, which means he may be hearing more of my heart beating and stomach growling. 

Weight Gain: 8.8 pounds

Maternity clothes: Maternity. Haven't been able to button my pants in 6 weeks now... 

Gender: A sweet boy! :) 

Movement: Baby moves a few times a day. Love knowing he's alive and well in there!

Sleep: No problems. Just weird dreams! 

What I miss: Summer! But that has nothing to do with pregnancy... :)

Cravings: Whatever sounds good at the time.

Best moment this week: Getting to see our baby and find out his gender! Love to know that he is on track developmentally and has all his parts and pieces! 
Caleb and I decided to celebrate the same way we did when we found out we were having a boy the first time - dinner and some baby shopping! My wonderful sister in law and niece, Laurie & Emilie, came over to watch Bryson for an evening while Caleb and I went to Olive Garden for dinner and ran into a few different stores. It was great to be able to focus on baby 2 at dinner - talking names, nursery ideas, etc. 
We ended up at Kohl's and bought these cutie outfits:

Since B2 will be born in the summer, I figure he'll mostly be wearing just onesies a lot of the time at home. So I thought these were a wonderful alternative to the plain white onesie - they have some character and look like a tee shirt with a pocket! So cute!

Of course we had to buy him a few outfits as well:

Love the camo shorts! oh boy stuff... no bows, but they still come up with a few cute ideas! ;)

Caleb picked the next 2 "matching" outfits - one for B2 and the last one for Bryson! Hysterical... LOVE all 3 of my boys!!
