Lil Spark: 19 weeks

How far along: 19 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: 11 pounds according to my DR office, Dr. L says we are right on track
Maternity clothes: Mom bought me 3 new tops for winter for my birthday!!!
Stretch marks: nope  
Sleep:  sleeping with an extra pillow in between my legs and tossing and turning due to my arms falling asleep
Best moment this week: the ultrasound! I had to keep reminding myself that it went great!
Belly button in or out?: still considered an innie, but not for long!
Craving: milk, have I mentioned this before?
What I am looking forward to:  feeling more kicks and being half baked next week!

I look happy, don't I?

Lil Spark is the size of a mango!










Thank you to baby.centercom:

Your baby's sensory development is exploding! His 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, talking to him, 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. His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. His kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on his scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on his skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.

Except that at the ultrasound they informed us that Lil Spark weighs 9 oz!  He is ahead already!  Grow Owen Grow!!!
