Baby Bolin: 19 weeks

Baby Bolin weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the length of a small zucchini. His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now. His kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair on his scalp is sprouting.

This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. If your baby is a girl, she has an astonishing six million eggs in her ovaries. They'll dwindle to fewer than two million by the time she's born.

How mom's life is changing: You're just a week shy of the halfway mark.

So when do we find out if the baby is a boy or girl??? It's getting close, right?

Start praying that your little one cooperates!!! Eli kept his legs closed for the longest time. Do they let you record the Ultra-sounds? Most of the machines have a spot for a VHS tape. We always took a blank one in and they just popped it in for us so we could have the recording. It's worth looking into.

It didn't even cross our minds that we could tape the ultrasound. Thanks for letting us know that it can be done. We will look into it.
