{18 Weeks and Dr. Appt!}

I had my monthly doctor appt. today! We set up my ultrasound appt!!!!! (I think I might have done 100!!! BUT didn't want to use up the whole blog on !!) It is set for Friday March 23rd at 11:00 but we need to be at the hospital at 10:30....I am soooo excited! I had a few questions to ask (since my FREAKED me out):
1. Epidurals----if I ask for one, will I get it?! Answer: YES, of course. (See Mom you were nice enough to JUST freak me out and make me actually think of changing doctors!)
2. Episodomies----only if I need one right? Answer: Yes!
3. Bronchitis----my having it didn't hurt the baby right? Answer: My having bronchitis wouldn't hurt the baby.
4. Rash----I seem to have a little rash or something, but it was NOTHING to worry about.
The baby's heart beat was 150 and that is pretty fast. The doctor never made ONE comment about my baby being small! Infact, Dr. Gramann said everything was great and he was pretty happy.
Cravings: Fruit: Watermelon, Strawberries, Oranges, Bananas! It doesn't matter what kind of fruit just fruit! Funny, last week I couldn't even think about a corn-dog but this week I have eaten them twice! WEIRD!
Aversions: Can't think of anything???
Baby Colin: Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a large sweet potato) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If your baby is a boy, his genitals are noticeable, though he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
