18 weeks!

This is half way to being "full term," so that's exciting.

Also exciting is that the doc says she'd give it about 70-30 odds that I'm a girl! I gave her a run for her money, though -- I took evasive action in the form of flipflops and somersaults to prevent her from getting a good angle on the ultrasound. And I'm pretty quick, if I do say so myself! Flip-kick, turn-twist, kick-jab! Take THAT, wand-lady!

Oma came with mom this time, and was excited to see me too. And mom can really feel me now -- I can tell, because after a good kick or two, she usually starts sort of poking at her belly to see if she can feel me kick from the outside.

Not a lot of other news to report. Mom's getting better at sleeping on her left side -- I guess so that I don't end up lying on her spine and vena cava, and depriving myself of nutrients. It's kind of funny when she wakes up at night to flip from one side to the other, because I go sloshing across her belly every time. Whee!
