This week marks the beginning of the 18th week! I'm feeling "bigger" now, and I did get some M-jeans that should fit through all of this. Today I went in to get a blood test that will screen for genetic disorders like Down's, although the sonographer already performed a visual test on the baby; She said you can tell from the width of the neck, and gave the baby girl a negative on Down's. Fantastic!

In this 18th week, she's about 5 inches head to tail, plus some 2-3 inches for the legs. She weighs about 5 ozs at this point, which is about the size of a turnip.
