19 weeks!

Almost half way there! Holy moly!! Movements are getting much more regular during this week! I think I even felt some from the outside...although Dillon says he couldn't feel it. My mom went to the Dr with me on Wed of this week....HB was about 140....so sounding like a boy! Kolby came and stayed the weekend with us! It was so much fun he's SO smart and well behaved and I love watching Dillon with him! It was great! Oh I also took comparison belly shots...definitly have grown! We ordered the crib sheet set this week from Wal-Mart.com just have to wait for it to be sent to the store! It's jungle themed I'll PIP it too..I gave up on my stars theme..dill didn't dig it and the colors of sheet sets weren't bright enough. I want the kid to have some major color stimulation! Plus everything I've read has said don't spend too much because you can't use the comforter not supposed to use the bumper...no one sees the ruffle..so it's like an expensive sheet ;).
Allison and Jenn have said they are going to do my shower sometime in July! Can't wait :) I love getting everyone together! It's so much fun!! :) Plus we get gifts :) And I can start decorating! We need furniture for in there too! After we get Izzy's schooling paid for that will be our next big purchase!
Izzy goes to retreiver training in June..she'll be gone a month :(. But she needs to learn to settle down when she's told too..I hope she isn't like Marley and is untrainable haha! Nah she'll do fine!

So here is baby info and picture:

This week your baby starts bulking up and packing on the grossly named "brown fat" he'll need to keep warm when he gets evicted from his comfortable uterine home. Other highlights this week:

Vernix, a milky white coating that protects your baby's skin, appears all over your baby's body to keep his skin from getting pickled in the amniotic fluid. Think of it as if your baby has been dipped in yogurt, like those delicious but fake-healthy yogurt-covered raisins and pretzels. Ooh, we feel another craving comin' on. ... Under the vernix, a fuzzy layer of hair called lanugo now covers baby's body. Don't worry, your Mini won't look like Cousin It when he's born. Most of the fuzz will fall off before baby makes his grand entrance.

Good news: Your baby's kidneys are fully functioning and producing urine this week. Bad news: That means there will be lots of diapers in your future. But so far you're safe—at the moment the pee just passes into the amniotic fluid.

He or she now weighs about 8½ ounces and measures 6 inches, as long as a turkey sub from Subway on warm, delicious Italian Herbs and Cheese bread (or Honey Oat bread, or Oregano bread or ...)


Here are comparison pics from 13w to 19w standing and laying down...
