Week 19

There is a mango in my kitchen.  I don't remember whether or not I've actually eaten a mango, but my husband brought it home from work one day.  Why?  Well, Baby B is the size of a mango this week!  I have to tell you that when I saw that mango, it kind of freaked me out a little.  There's a human, inside of me, that big?!?!?  I know, they will get bigger, but just the thought was a shock, and then a little bit of awe. Wow, that's kind of cool, that God can have a human grow so much, and so quickly inside of me. 

On another Baby note...I hesitate to tell you this, in case I fail, but I have started Baby B's blanket.  Yes, I'm knitting it.  (I've started now so that I'll have plenty of time to finish it.)  It's mostly blue with specks of purple and pink, since we don't know if Baby B is a boy or girl yet.  I'll post pictures when it actually starts to look like a blanket.

Lastly, Thursday, Thursday, Thursday is the big day.  We finally get to "see" Baby B, and hopefully they will cooperate and let us know if they are a boy or a girl.  I'm saying girl, and so far that's what people are still voting for.  There was at least one boy vote last I checked, but I suspect that might be my husband trying to prove me wrong. :) 

How Big is Baby?

Wow!  What a busy week it's been.  With it being so busy, I haven't been able to post about Baby B's development this week.  I have to say, so far this is my favorite week, because now, baby can hear us!!!  Honestly, a lot of what Baby B is hearing for the most part is the World Cup.  :)  Like father like...??? 

Speaking of if Baby B is a boy or a girl.  So far, all of the votes in our poll say that you think she is a girl!  (I do too.)  It's only a little over a week until we find out!  So how big is Baby B this week?!?!? 

Baby's now the size of a sweet potato!
Baby's become amazingly mobile (compared to you, at least), passing the hours yawning, hiccupping, rolling, twisting, kicking, punching, sucking, and swallowing. And baby is finally big enough that you'll soon be able to feel her movements.



Now that baby can hear what's going on outside the womb, it's time to get out the tunes. Her faves? Classical, lullabies, new age...and anything else that resembles your own thumping heart (about 60 beats per minute).

Boy or Girl?

It's less than four weeks until the "big" ultrasound.  We are hoping to find out if we are having a boy or a girl... Vote on the right to make your guess on what we are having...Boy or Girl?

Then after we find out (hopefully) we'll make the big announcement! 

How Big is Baby?

One of our favorite parts of the week is to check and see (according to thebump.com) how big the baby is.  Each week the baby is compared the size of a fruit or vegetable.  It's always fun to see how much the baby grows each week.  We started with apple seeds and sweet peas, but this week baby is the size of an....
