Beginning Week 19!

I can't believe I am only two weeks away from being half-way through my pregnancy! Had a pregnancy massage yesterday and thoroughly enjoyed it! Why haven't I ever had a real massage before now? I am going to try and get one at least every month (it's supposed to be really good for the baby)!

Baby Growth in Week 19

Your baby has grown so much during these 19 weeks but is only 7 ½ inches long and weighs about 7 ounces. Don’t worry, he/she still has a lot of growing left to do.

While your baby is continuing to grow, the development that is occurring is very specific. For example, the kidneys are making urine, and hair is beginning to sprout on his/her scalp. The parts of the brain that are responsible for the senses are specializing. If you are having a baby girl, she already has 6 million eggs formed in her ovaries.
