nineteen weeks.

baby<3

*baby's sensory development is exploding! his or her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. 

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

how far along:

*19weeks!

weight gain:

*a big whopping total of 13pounds. I know that's really good, but it's kinda freakin me out!! 

symptoms 

*still have nausea in the mornings. back is always hurting, but I'm pretty thankful that I haven't vomited in a LONG TIME! (:

maternity clothes:

*I wear mostly maternity shorts. I have a few summer shirts and dresses from last year that I'll be able to wear for a while (; 

sleep:

*sleeping is still pretty hard, I can I deal with it (:

movement

*baby's moving like crazy. daddy still hasn't felt him/her move. he/she will stop moving when he puts his hand on my tummy. he says it's a girl and she saying "don't touch me"!! if it is a girl hopefully she won't start that this early! 

food cravings:

*do I even have to fill the question out? I don't think it'll ever change! sweeeeets! I have a new fav candy, it's the jolly ranchers that start out hard but in the middle they are chewy. yum!

gender prediction:

*a little girl. 

looking forward to:

*TUESDAY!!!!!!!!! 

best moments of the week:

*just watching jaden be so happy about the new baby coming. he always wants to "see" baby touch baby kiss baby hug baby. he's going to be such a good big brother!! ((:
