Well, we are in week 19 and little Roo and I are doing well. I am able to cook again and I have a little more energy than before. Back to my pre-natal yoga! heehee The baby has been moving around a lot more. It feels so awesome, I wish Tim could feel it. It feels so real now. Last night we listened to the heartbeat and Roo was sleeping. Then I had some pinapple and I few hours later I felt more movement...It was amazing, so Tim brought the doppler back over for me cause I can't believe that the baby is really moving around, and sure enough we caught the lil one around my belly button. Aw.... I can't wait! 152 days to go!
Little Roo this week...
"Your baby measures about 5.2 to 6 inches (13-15cm) from crown to rump and weighs about 7 ounces (200g).
The buds for the permanent teeth are forming behind those that have already developed for the first teeth.
Your baby's nervous system and brain development continue at a spectacular pace. By this week, your baby's motor neurons, which connect muscle to the brain, have grown into place so that your baby can consciously direct her movements. Millions of neurons inside your baby's brain are growing and forming connections and the nerves in her body are being covered in a fatty substance called myelin.
Your baby's ears are now placed on the sides of her head and her limbs are now in proportion. Your baby's tiny foot is just one inch long, but is in perfect proportion to the rest of her leg.
Your baby can hear your voice and recognize it."
How cool is that?!?!?!
Love,
Candace
