Yeah. Its 18th week!!!

We are really counting every single week that passed. Each week seems to pass fast but mysteriously the number of weeks seems to be moving very slowly. Its 18th week today. I am certainly still not ready for the babies to arrive. I feel that I'm still taking things too easily and letting time passed too fast. I still haven't gone for my first toastmasters session and haven't started public speaking. I'm not persistent enough on my own sales and not doing much to enhance my business. I did not sign up for the ChFC module too.

I also are not ready to take care of babies yet as I'm totally untrained and still do not know what to expect when they arrives. Felin and I shall be signing up for the pre-natal course starting from September onwards over 6 weeks. My Saturdays will be burned for 6 weeks and probably not able to meet clients on Saturday during this period. I think this time sacrifice is crucial. I must learn well over that few weeks in order that I can be more confident and be more capable in taking care of the babies.

So whats at 18th week? Just read through the babycentre website:

Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches (14cm) long, and he weighs almost 7 ounce (198gm). Her chest moves up and down to mimic breathing. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin, and her ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from her head a bit.

Soon you may get glimpse of all the things your baby is getting up in your uterus (womb). A mid-pregnancy ultrasound scan, called an anomaly scan, is usually done between 18 and 22 weeks. This assesses your baby's growth and development and checks whether the gestational age is accurate.

During this scan, you might see your baby kick, flex, reach, roll, or even suck her thumb. See if your partner can come along to share the thrilling sight of your baby, and ask if you can have images from the scan.

If you're having a girl, the vagina, uterus (womb), and fallopian tubes are in place. If it's a boy, his genitals will be distinct and recognisable.

From now on, when you lie down, it's best to lie on your side, or at least partly tilted to one side. When you lie flat on your back, your uterus can compress a major vein. This may make you feel dizzy because less blood can return to your heart. Try placing a pillow behind you or under your hip or upper leg for comfort.
