Happy Thanksgiving and 18 weeks!

Happy Thanksgiving to everyone! I hope things are good wherever you are today! We are in Memphis celebrating with my family. I will update with more pictures later.

Today is 18 weeks for me and Cooper! Here is what is going on inside.

Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs - movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in his final position, although they are standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he is born.
