so, it turns out that the Chinese Gender Predictor is not an accurate resource.
it is definitely a girl. her name is Harper!
the u/s girl was so nice last night. the baby was sitting on her legs, and yawned- so cute!
Keli came over with MORE baby presents. this time little girl clothes, and a baby blanket!

week 18
Your fetus has become amazingly mobile (at least compared to you), passing the hours yawning, hiccuping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking and swallowing. And, baby's finally big enough that you'll be able to feel those movements soon.

Which Celebaby Name Do You Like Best?
Some parents have their baby names picked out long before they ever meet their spouse. Others stumble upon a name by accident and decide it's a perfect moniker for their tot. However the life–long label is agreed upon, it usually has meaning and purpose behind it.
Jessica Alba chose Honor because it was, well, an honor to have her husband Cash's baby. Baby Levi McConaughey was named after a prophet in the Bible and Harlow Winter Kate Madden was inspired by the famous Hollywood actress Jean Harlow and model Shalom Harlow. While some of them seem a bit bizarre and atypical, they may end up suiting their owner just right.

17 weeks pg
Baby's skeleton is hardening, changing from rubbery cartilage to bone, and fat is finally accumulating around it. The umbilical cord is getting thicker and stronger, and those little fingers and toes are now topped by one-of-a-kind prints.

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.
