Large Heirloom Tomato ( Sounds Delicious)


Yesterday I began my 19th week of pregnancy, so that means a babycenter.com update. Here it is:

"Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid."


Here's the creepy, little picture accompanying this weeks update:


And now there's just two, long days standing between me and knowing what my baby is. Hurry up Tuesday!!!
