Time has gone by so fast. It is 19 weeks of pregnancy and we are half way through.
Babies' sensory development is exploding! Their brains are designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that they may be able to hear voice now. We already have our recordings of stories and songs so "S" could play to the babies.
They weigh about 8.5 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom, about the size of an heirloom tomato. Arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of their bodies now. Their kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on their scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on the skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.
