Check out the picture - my baby is a pretzel! Baby-Week 19

Life is good here in pregnancy land - almost half way done!!! Time sure does fly. I have been feeling pretty good - feeling the baby move more, but it will probably still be a while before we feel it on the outside. We find out a week from tomorrow if we are having a boy or a girl! Pretty exciting! Nothing else to really report!

Here is the baby update:

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now. His kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair on his scalp is sprouting. If your baby is a girl, she already has 6 million eggs in her ovaries. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. He may be able to hear you as you talk. Research shows that he's learning to distinguish your voice from others, and he'll soon show a preference for it. If your baby is a girl, she has an astonishing 6 million eggs in her ovaries. They'll dwindle to fewer than two million by the time she's born.
