Prince or Princess?

This post deserved a post by itself. I am so excited because tonight is a big night! I couldn’t sleep well last night. Tossed and turned all night. Having nightmares that woke me up every 2 hours! Probably because of the anticipation of tonight. Well, the day finally arrived and I hope we are able to find out if we are having a boy or a girl. Honestly, both John and I don’t care if we are having a boy or a girl. As long as it’s a healthy happy baby!

Like I’ve mentioned before, almost everyone at work thinks that I am having a girl. They are hoping that I am having a girl because one of my co workers who is 7 weeks ahead of me is having a boy. So they can buy different stuff for our baby shower. Haha… Most of my friends think I am having a girl too except for Jimmy, the odd one. Janet & Jimmy are actually betting to see who wins a sushi dinner. Janet thinks it’s a girl. So we’ll reveal the result tonight.

I hope the baby will co-operate and let us see his/ her ehemm.. down there. :P We should be able to find out because according to Babycenter.com:

Pregnancy at 18 weeks

How your baby's growing:

Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
