Week 19.

We're rapidly approaching the half-way mark. AAGGHHH! There is so much to do between now and June...

Little Wee Pea measures about 8-9 inches long now, and weighs somewhere around 8 ounces. She continues to be very active, which is always a comfort, even when it's very uncomfortable. ;D She's been growing a lot this past week...yesterday and the day before were pretty achy for me, but as I said to Josh, it's one of those pains you're pleased to put up with because it means very good things are happening inside.

This is an important phase for Wee Pea's sensory development. As she continues to grow bigger, she scrunches more and more, putting her hands and feet within reach of her face. This is how babies learn about touch. Isn't that incredible?

I see the doctor next Monday for the 20 week checkup, and for a weigh-in. I've been eating like a starving woman, so I hope to report a nice big number back to you then. In the meantime, not much going on here. Well, except scraping blueberries off the wall where Wilson threw them, and trying very hard not to throttle them when he mocks us with head-shakes when we tell him "NO!"

Sounds good to me, not your pain, but the results.....she will be a darling, just like precious Wils.
