18 weeks already??

I don't know where the time is going, but we're at 18 weeks already. I guess in a way it's moving so slowly because we're dying to get to our next appointment on the 28th to find out if it's a boy or girl.
The book says he/she is about 5 1/2 inches long and about 5 ounces, moving around, learning to yawn and hiccup, and developing fingerprints on those itty bitty perfect little fingers! I can't wait to see those little fingers and hands! :)
The past couple of weeks have been busy and crazy, but fun! We've gotten linens figured out for bedding (my mom is teaching me to sew and we're making some custom bedding with Vera Bradley's "Sittin' in a tree" pattern), paint colors some-what picked out, we went to Charleston on a mini-vacay, picked out the crib, got our house semi-straightened out from the mess of having the floor and carpet put down. Oh, and in between all of that we both worked. We've had fun though and it's made the time pass by quicker while we're waiting on our next appointment!
I have to say though, that if you're going down to Charleston on a little vacation, check out Vendue Inn in downtown. It was so nice and it's more or less a bed and breakfast with a bit of a hotel feel. The biggest perk was that breakfast is included with your room...and it was a-mazing! The only thing that stunk was the fact that it seems 100x hotter and more humid and that really doesn't mix well when you're pregnant!
I guess the baby was excited about going down to Charleston because he/she moved all around almost the whole way down there! We did end up buying a couple of things for him/her while we were down there like a soft, fuzzy blanket, a pack of long sleeve body suits, and Jordon had to make sure that he/she had a little out fit to match mommy's "crabby" shirt (it's a little shirt that says "I'm crabby" with a little crab on it). And yes, it's true that we went to Charleston Crab House for my usual crab leg feast and I ate a pound and a half and was still starving! I just say that that was the baby's pound and a half and I had to find something else to eat. Oh well, if it makes him/her happy then they can have my pound and half of crab legs all day long.
And don't let Jordon fool you; he's been calling the baby "Leonard". Why? I have no clue, but that's not our baby's name and we don't know the gender and not telling anyone. My instinct keeps pushing me towards one gender, but we'll see in about 2 weeks. Either way I don't care as long as he/she has all the little parts they're supposed to and is healthy and happy.
