[Pregnancy] 18 Week Update

Today I had my 18 Week check-up!  The Dr. said that my weight & blood pressure looked great so that was very exciting news to hear!  Speaking of hearing I was able to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time.  The Dr. used a doppler* so I can hear baby's heartbeat!  My Dr. even let me take a video so I can share with you what his/her heartbeat sounded like!

Unbelievable isn't it?!  Baby's heart rate is about 149!

According to Babycenter.com baby #2 is about 5 1/2 inches long, head to rump (about the length of a bell pepper) and weighs almost 7 ounces.  You can definitely tell that baby is growing because my belly is growing as well!  Baby #2 and I are both doing well!  I can actually feel him/her moving around in my belly now!  I love that feeling!  =)

Here's my latest bump picture!

(*Doppler - Is a highly sensitive sound device that, when placed on the pregnant woman’s abdomen, allows the fetal heartbeat to be heard.)

Btw....I got this little comic on my update today and I felt like I needed to post it because this is exactly how I feel right now!  =)  Too funny!
