week 18-19

Well ive been feeling the little kid kickin around in there this past week or two,and let me tell ya,it is the weirdest feeling.very cool,but kinda creepy to have a living thing wiggling around inside your stomach.i havent quite gotten used to the sensation,but it usually makes me smile.last night i laid awake for a couple hours and every time i tried to sleep the little jumper would wake me up.(: we have about two and a half weeks left till our half-way ultrasound,at which point we will find out the sex of the baby.oct.10th is the big day...hey!thats reb's B-day!



Week 18: Baby begins to hear
As the nerve endings from your baby's brain "hook up" to the ears, your baby may hear your heart beating, your stomach rumbling or blood moving through the umbilical cord. He or she may even be startled by loud noises. Your baby can swallow this week, too.
Week 19: Lanugo covers baby's skin
Your baby's delicate skin is now protected with a pasty white coating called vernix. Under the vernix, a fine, down-like hair called lanugo covers your baby's body.
Your baby's kidneys are already producing urine. The urine is excreted into the amniotic sac, which surrounds and protects your baby.
As your baby's hearing continues to improve, he or she may pick up your voice in conversations — although it's probably hard to hear clearly through the amniotic fluid and protective paste covering your baby's ears.
Thanks to the millions of motor neurons developing in the brain, your baby can make reflexive muscle movements. If you haven't felt movement yet, you will soon.
