Week 19 Update

Happy Easter!
Hope everyone had a great Easter weekend! We did a little car shopping....yes, we will have to get something a bit bigger! We are so excited that there is only 1 week left to find out who has been kicking me the last few weeks! I have been having a "boy feeling" up until about 2 weeks ago, then all of a sudden I thought "well, what if it is a girl?".....No matter what the baby is we will be happy that "little bubba" is here! Have a great week!
Here is the latest in development.....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. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. 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.
