How your baby's growing: 19 weeks
19 weeks: Baby is the size of an heirloom tomato
Your baby equals a large heirloom tomato in size and weighs 8 1/2 ounces. (length: 6 inches, head to bottom) (Until 20 weeks the baby is measured from head to bottom only...next week the measurements should start including the legs!!!)
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, talking 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.
All very exciting stuff! And to think there are two little Heirloom's growing in my belly ;) Girls are growing and so is their momma!!! Wonder how much hair these little ones will have? So fun to think about all these fun things to come!!! LOVE these updates and learning what is going on with our little girls!
