Week 19

Excitement is growing looking forward to next week when we find out if its a boy or girl. This week we are both doing very well. As is our baby,

This is an impressive week for growth! The baby will increase in weight to 8 ounces (227 grams)! If you are having a girl, her ovaries now contain primitive egg cells. Lanugo appears all over the baby's body. This fine hair will remain until birth draws nearer. Sometimes you can still see some on the baby's face and ears after birth. Permanent teeth buds are forming behind the already formed milk teeth buds.

A few weeks ago we went to Belton to see my family. Click here to see slideshow

Also notice how snazzy I am making the blog. I made the font bigger for those older people who read it. (you're welcome Dad) On the upper right hand corner you can see an email link to us. On the bottom of every post feel free to leave a comment as well. We can communicate about the blog stuff that way. I hope to write up more postings and be fairly creative to keep things interesting for both of us. In the end its about Charissa and our baby. But, I can have fun along the way. ha ha.

Thank you all for your prayers and well wishes. I still feel like we are on the journey together and know we could not make it with out you. As Charissa says "It takes a village to raise a child"
