19 Weeks

Today, Sept. 2nd I am 19 weeks pregnant. The baby's sensory development is exploding. His/Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision and touch. Some research suggests that he/she may be able to hear our voices now. So I am going to start talking and singing to my stomach more. :)
The baby weighs 8 1/2 ounces and is 6 inches long (head to bottom). About the size of a large heirloom tomato. His/Her arms and legs are in the right proportion to each other and the rest of their body now.
I have been feeling some discomfort in my stomach, I am assuming that is the baby moving around and kicking. I just can't wait to feel the baby all the time and distinguish what kicks are. Only a couple more weeks and we will know the sex. :)

In honor of Baby Wertz this week, have a large heirloom tomato.
