Ok so yesterday morning we were lying around being lazy and I thought I would try to talk to the baby. Well to my surprise every time I spoke to her stomach it made a weird popping noise and it felt like something was rubbing against her tummy, we laughed quite a bit but still aren't quite sure if it was the baby or maybe Raquel was just very hungry. I will say it sounded a lot different then anything I've ever heard. Anyway we are entering week 19 tomorrow and are very excited to find out the gender next week. I added some music (Baby B's tunes) to the blog but if you get annoyed please feel free to turn it off. I also made an adjustment to the comments page you no longer have to be a member to post a comment, let me know if that works better, but make sure you let us know who left the comment. Thanks all!!! :)

Your pregnancy: 19 weeks

See the big picture

How your baby's growing:

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, taking 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.
