These were taken within a 3 minute time frame.

19 weeks!

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 ...)

 I had my 18 week appointment (at 18weeks 4 days) this week and the baby is measuring 19 weeks. His heart rate was a perfect 145bpm. I should have an anatomy scan done in the next 2 weeks, which means another ultrasound and pictures! I also had the screening done for various birth defects and my numbers came back great, everything is very unlikely (around 1 and 5,000).

In other news:
We will be coming home on the 20th! Woohoo! It has been pretty quiet around here. We are getting some Christmas shopping done and freezing up here! It is in the 20's in the morning and they say if the rain comes far enough south, early Sunday morning, we could get flurries! Next week, we will be lucky if it gets into the mid 40's!!!! If it is going to be this cold, it might as well snow!

We are getting our tree on Monday and I am not excited about putting it up because somebody is very curious! We will most likely have to block it off...oh well.

Have a great weekend!

What are the child labor laws again?!
