How big is Sweet P? - 19 weeks

I know it's a day early to be doing this post but with tomorrow being the big ultrasound day I knew I would have a different post to do so I'm doing it today. So how much has Sweet P grown this past week?? He/She now weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and is about 6 inches long (although my doctor says around 8 inches long), about the size of an heirloom tomato.

Your baby's sensory development is exploding! His/Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that he/she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to him/her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you. His/Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. His/Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on his/her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on his/her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.

I can't believe how much our little baby is changing on a weekly and even daily basis. It truly is an amazing miracle. It is so crazy that we will be able to know what we are having in less than 24 hours. I'll let you know as soon as possible tomorrow!! :D
