19 Weeks

Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. 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. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.

I told Jeffrey today that the baby might be able to hear him talk now and he got really excited. All day he kept talking to the baby telling it that he can't wait for it to come out and that as soon as it comes out he wants to play cars with it. 

I am definitely getting bigger and even though I can fit into my normal jeans it is just so much for comfortable to wear maternity pants.  

Although I thought that I was feeling the baby move at 14 weeks I don't think that it was the baby. I haven't felt any movement since that time so I am really looking forward to actually feeling the baby move. I think that I felt Jeffrey move just shortly after my 19th week so hopefully soon with this one.
