Week 19

Baby Isham is ALL over the place now ha! I swear JR should be able to feel the movement now but every time he puts his hand down there the baby stops moving ha! I was excited to see in my update that the baby can now hear us so I am sure we will be talking up a storm to it from now on! From here on out the updates will be about he or she... so exciting! Family your time has come to know which one.. hope it was worth the wait :)

Update from the babycenter website:
(The website uses she so dont get any ideas that I messed up and told ha!)

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.
