Sex, Bumps, and Tomatoes

Sex.
That's right...one week and one day until the "big ultrasound" where we take a closer look at all of the important organs and ligaments BabyP has been busy growing. And, while definitely not the most important goal of the day........we will [hopefully] be finding out the SEX of our lil bean!! Eager to be prepared, we've been discussing names and with luck we will share the name and gender of BabyP next week. (We aren't sharing names quite yet, but will once it's decided. The gender will be revealed asap!)


Bumps.
Yesterday marked our 19th week of pregnancy. (Almost half-way through already!) BabyP has been making him/herself known with sporadic movements....and Daddy-to-be got to feel for the first time this Sunday. It was a moment we'll never forget.

Baby Bump - 19 weeks


Tomatoes.
Just in case you were wondering....what food would BabyP be equivalent to...here's your answer: from head to bottom, our baby is about the size of a large heirloom tomato. (See pic below if you are confused between heirlooms and romas). It's (I hate using "it") now weighs about 8.5 ounces.

This week, our Sweet BabyP's brain is developing areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. And may be able to hear us now! So, look out for less bad words and more singing from Mommy-to-be. :)

Hair is starting to form and BabyP's arms and legs should now be the correct proportion.
