We have been taking everyone's guesses on whether they think the baby will be a boy or girl. Most people have said boy (augh!) but a couple have said girl. If all goes well at the appointment tomorrow we should be able to find out for sure! I will post again to let ya'll know whether or not we found out and what it is if we did find out. We are super excited!
As of today I am 19 weeks along. This is what's going on this week with the baby: "This week your baby is hitting the growth charts at 6 inches long and a full half pound in weight. What fruit is it this week? Your baby's about the size of a large mango. A mango dipped in greasy cheese, actually. Vernix caseosa- a greasy white protective substance (it resembles cheese)- now covers your baby's sensitive skin, protecting it from the surrounding amniotic fluid. Without that protection your baby would look very wrinkled at birth. The coating sheds as delivery approaches, but some babies born early are still covered with vernix at delivery." -What to Expect When You're Expecting.
So that's pretty much what's up for now. Please continue to keep us in your prayers. We are always in need of prayers! God has done so much for us and we are eternally thankful to Him and to all of you that have helped us along the way. God bless you!
P.S. This photo was taken right after dinner so I am convinced that some of that belly is not baby. :)
