the burrastons

Week 19! 'Your baby's the size of a mango! At about 6.0 inches long and weighing in at about 8.5 ounces, she's getting there! Developing a protective coating over her skin, called vernix caseosa. It's greasy and white and you may see some of it at her birth. Working on her five senses. Nerve cells for her sense of taste, hearing, sight and smell are developing in her brain.

Baby is getting big.....her/his house is getting even bigger!! It seems like we went down in fruit size this week (Doesn't a sweet potato seem bigger?) But it's fun anyway. I love feeling this little mango kick and flip around in there, and I cannot wait to see that chubby little face! One week away from being half way there, and I'm getting impatient! I want this baby in our arms:)

Still no cravings in particular. Thank heavens the dirt craving that I had with my other 2 has not kicked in quite yet (hoping it never does this time, nothing worse that a craving that you can't satisfy!) Heartburn has started, but not too badly. I take a few tums and it tames it down enough. Ryan has been super sweet with me being extra emotional and moody, and has been my hero in buying me a whole bunch of clothes that fit on a day when I was feeling like a whale in anything I put on. Best husband ever. xoxo
