19 Weeks

12 July 2013 - Friday

How far along: 19 weeks

How big baby is: 8 ½ ounces, 6 inches from head to rump

Baby is the size of: heirloom tomato

Baby's development: Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. 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.

Mommy’s weight gain: Since my due date has been changed it has only been one day since I weighed and posted - so perhaps my two pounds last week can count for two weeks after all! :)

Mommy’s belly:

Baby’s movements: Still wiggly!

Symptoms: Yesterday and today I have been exhausted. I wasn’t feeling well yesterday, so perhaps it has to do with that. Other than that, no real symptoms to speak of.

Food cravings: I have had a snow cone from Josh’s Sno Shack four days in a row now. I think that counts as a craving.

Emotions: Feeling good; feeling very happy and excited.

Sleep: I still need lots of sleep!

What I am looking forward to: I can’t wait to get the bedroom started. We have decided to move Penny to the spare room, so I can’t really do anything about getting a room ready for Ariana until David has a chance to make Penny’s new “big girl bed” and we get Penny moved. The pre-planner in me is having a hard time being patient!
