After our 18 week gender and anatomy scan on Friday, we finally found out that Baby C is a SHE! The little lady is still due September 24th, but weighs in about 3 weeks heavier. Her legs and head are much longer and larger than the rest of her is measuring, she can thank her dad and I for that. Typically the anatomy scan lasts 10-15 minutes but she was so active (& uncooperative) that we got to see her for over a half hour! Considering she was merely a shrimp at the last ultrasound we were just a little excited about our extended time with her ;)
Little lady!
Of course we couldn't wait to share the news with our family and friends. Due to Justin's work schedule, we had to wait SIX HOURS after the appointment to tell anybody which may have been worse than not knowing at all. The fun ensued as soon as he was home and we somehow ended up with about 67 pink outfits. We cannot wait to see her face, toes, and already chubby belly in person. Knowing there's a baby coming gets you excited, but seeing their little face and body with both of your features makes it so much more exciting!
As far as the 18 week update goes, see my feet? I can't.
How far along? 18 Weeks, and still perpetually late at posting.
Total weight gain/loss? 9 pounds. See face, belly, and boobs for the packed on pounds.

Stretch marks? No
Sleep? Great!
Best moment this week? I don't know if it ever loses it's excitement, but feeling her actually kicking.

Movement? Yep!
Food cravings? Egg bacon bagels and sweet tea are still my ultimate favorites.
