December 14, 2012

So saddened again today by a tragic shooting, this time in an elementary school.  Many prayers said and tears shed today for the victims, families and anyone involved. 

On a happier note...my 19 week update...

What's going on with baby this week:  Baby should weigh 8 to 10 ounces and is now developing vernix, the greasy white coating that protects their skin.  Each foot is about one inch long.  Hair is sprouting on his/her head.  Baby is sucking and swallowing and the sense of taste is developing.  Baby can distinguish between bitter and sweet.  A girl baby now has about 6 million eggs in her ovaries.

How do I feel:  Great, except for the stuffy nose that I'm getting used to.

What am I eating:  Nothing crazy, no pickles with ice cream or any of the other oddities we hear about pregnant women craving. 

What I miss:  Nothing to speak of.

What I'm looking forward to:  Feeling baby movements soon I hope!  And starting the weekly progesterone injections tonight.  Glad my OB agreed that they may be good for me and was willing to order them.  And happy that it's only a weekly shot!
