I got so carried away with our gender discovery of last week that I forgot to post week 18's babycenter.com update. And we've already moved on to week 19 now! So here are both:
Week 18
"Head to rump, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead."
Week 19
"Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. The hair on his scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that he may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, taking to him, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you."
I appreciate all the information babycenter makes available to expectant moms, but I sure wish they'd get a new fruit/vegetable picker! It seems that we are regularly making one step forward-two steps back progressions in the produce line of development. It's all a bit confusing!
