19 Weeks

Not much to report this week, we are just patiently waiting for next Monday to come along so that we can find out what this little booger is. Who, by the way, has been kicking the snot out of me all week long!! I've loved it.

But I am going to take a minute to complain about these little shots of mine. I've tried to be tough, not whine and cry about them but this last week has done me in and I want to be done with them!! They HURT like no other. Or at least this week they have, I don't know what I've been doing differently or if its just the fact that my skin is getting thinner along with my blood but ouchie...I'm also bleeding a little after each shot and I hate blood! It's getting harder and harder each day to pump myself up and give myself the shot. Usually I don't think about it and just do it as fast as I can but today I had a melt down and B had to pump me up and talk me through it. They've been hurting so much lately that I hate to do them now and inflict pain on my poor tummy that's already been through so much! So any suggestions on how to make these things easier?

My face has broken out this week with a little rash and I'm not sure if its the hormones or what but its very annoying, I'm with 13 year olds all day, I sure don't want to look like them! To date I've gained 9 lbs, yikes! I'm trying not to worry about it and the doc and books say I'm right on target but it's still hard to see that scale go higher and higher and go places its never been before.

Here's the baby's development this week:
Your baby's crown-to-rump length is 5.2 to 6 inches this week. Your baby weighs approximately 7 ounces and will increase its weight more than 15 times between now and birth! She has started to swallow amniotic fluid, and her kidneys continue to make urine. Hair on the scalp is sprouting. Sensory development reaches its peak this week. The nerve cells serving each of the senses -- taste, smell, hearing, seeing, and touch -- are now developing in their specialised areas of the brain. Nerve cell production slows down as existing nerve cells grow larger and make more complex connections. If you're carrying a baby girl, she already has roughly six million eggs in her ovaries. By the time she's born, she'll have about one million. You may have felt the kicking and somersaulting of your growing baby. At times, you might find that she is so mobile that you can't sleep. The next ten weeks or so will be your baby's busiest and most active time, until the womb gets too crowded.Your baby's ears stand out from the sides of the head and the buds for your baby's permanent teeth appear. Your baby's arms and legs have reached their relative proportions and his feet are approximately one inch long.

I have a great husband that pick up some flowers for me this week! Love you babe!
