What's baby up to this week? She is the size of a heirloom tomato (YUM!), measuring 6" long and weighs about 8 oz. Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision and touch. Research shows that she can hear our voices now, and D has been talking away to her. Kidney's continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. We had our anatomy scan on Wednesday and it was completely AWESOME to see all the cool little parts on the screen (see below for cool photos) Everything checked out a-ok with the scan, but when it came to get to the good information, baby girl refused to uncross her legs. We ate chocolate, went potty, did some toe touches all to get baby to change positions. It almost looked like we weren't going to get our information. In a last ditch effort D went to get juice out of my car and as soon as he left the room, she uncrossed her legs and showed the goods! A little hamburger if you follow Dooce. Our modest little girl!
What's been going on with mom? Just working away. Trying to figure out how to keep the stress at work at bay without letting it affect me. Damn do I need a drink some days when I get home!
Symptoms: Light headedness and high emotions. Been truly over the top with my crying......I think it has a lot to do with work stress and lack of sleep.
Yummy/Icky: Made passion tea and have been mixing it with lemonade as my beverage. Emma loves it too. At least the tea isn't caffeinated.
Clothing: Still rocking last pregnancy clothing....and adding in pieces here and there that still work. I'm miserable in the full panel, but theres nothing I can do but hold out for the rest of the summer.....two more months.
Movement: Definitely know when shes gonna move. Mostly after lunch, and when I lie down to go to sleep. Sometimes she likes to dance party in the morning....but shes most active in the afternoon and evenings.
Best Moment this Week: The fact that it has cooled down enough at night that we both have gotten full nights sleep in quiet without fans on full blast!
Looking forward to: Our anatomy scan and learning what baby is going to be!
19 Weeks with Emma.
