Starting 18 weeks of Pregnancy!

Here is what baby Hall was busy doing over our spring break...besides gaining weight from Great Grandma's cooking!

Your baby's skeleton is changing from soft cartilage to bone, and the umbilical cord — her lifeline to the placenta — is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and she's around 5 inches long from head to bottom. She can move her joints, and her sweat glands are starting to develop.

Another eventful aspect of this week included us purchasing a "body pillow" to help me sleep better. This particular one looks like a snake, but can be zipped up into a circle to use with the baby later. It is preety cool. Anyway, here is Charles posing with the pillow...of course, this was one of the more subtle pics...
