This last week Travis and I felt the baby poke out. It was such a wonderful and yet weird feeling I have ever felt before. Travis says "What a reality check!"
The baby is quite a bouncer... I am feeling it all over the place. Yesturday we were at my brother-in-laws house for cookies and ice cream and Travis dad kept patting my belling like it was a basketball or something. (Kinda weird, but funny) I am now 19 weeks pregnant, almost halfway through... with 21 Weeks, 3 Days to go! Thats by calculating my due date on January 8, 2009.
Here is what the baby calendar is saying about my growing baby: Your baby is between five and six inches long and weighs about seven ounces—about the size of an apple. If the baby is a girl, early ovaries contain follicles with forming eggs. Soon, half of the genetic material for your potential future grandchildren will be formed. Pictures of babies at this age show them touching the membrane of the amniotic sac, touching their own faces, reaching for the umbilical cord, pedaling their legs, and sucking their thumbs. If you're carrying twins, they may already be swatting at each other. Your baby may already have a preference for the left or right hand. In the brain, areas of the nerve cells that serve the senses of touch, taste, smell, sight, and hearing are becoming specialized and are forming more complex connections. Loud sounds as well as any feelings you may have of stress or alarm may be communicated to the baby. The baby responds to these stresses by becoming more active. Practicing yoga and meditation can be good for your sense of calm and balance.
I hope you enjoyed the update... Love ya!
Katie and Travis Nemrow
