19 weeks...

We are officially halfway there! I say officially, according to baby websites. I thought pregnancies were 40 weeks but whatever.

Measuring about 16 centimetres, it will be interesting to see how much the EFW is tomorrow as the average is 240g at 19 weeks. The baby was 230g 3 days into 18 weeks! We have a scan to measure the fluid in my tummy and my cervix again tomorrow. Nugget is swallowing amniotic fluid, and their kidneys continue to make urine. Hair on their scalp is sprouting, too. Sensory development reaches its peak this week. The nerve cells serving each of the senses – taste, smell, hearing, seeing and touch – are developing in their specialised areas of the brain.
