Baby Q...18 Weeks?

Baby is now the size of a sweet potato!

At my last doctor's appointment a few weeks ago, we couldn't hear the baby's heartbeat, which is always a scary feeling. So they did an ultrasound, and everything is great so far! The heartbeat was strong at 155/bpm, and little Questington was all over the place. I have never seen a baby move so much in an ultrasound. This baby was literally kicking off of the uterus wall, sucking it's thumb, swallowing, waving...it was so great. And I'm feeling kicks! That is of course my absolute favorite part about being pregnant.

But at this ultrasound, the baby seemed to be further along than they originally thought. My first due date was November 13th, but it looks as though they may be changing it to November 4th! That puts us at 18 weeks today. Almost to the half-way point!

My next routine visit is in one week, and I'm really hoping that my big ultrasound will follow shortly behind. I'm really excited about finding out if this little one is a girl or a boy. I really feel like it's a boy. It's big and extremely active, and it just feels a lot different than it did with Harper. But either way, we will be simply ecstatic! I would love to have a son. I also love having a little girl. It's really a win no matter what. I just pray that the ultrasound shows us a healthy baby...every parent's wish.
