Week 19

Here we are at week 19! Time is flying. This week, Baby Schepis is about the size of a mango or heirloom tomato (sorry Dad K- It looks like we skipped right past apples!) weighing about 8.5 ounces and measuring close to 6 inches. The brain is “specializing” smell, taste, hearing, vision and touch areas. Legs and arms are in proportion to the body and hair is starting to sprout on the head! Kidneys are starting to work, though I think mine are still a lot stronger!

As for Eric and I, we had a great birthday weekend! Mom and Dad Schepis arrived bearing gifts of food (the fridge and freezer are full!) and birthday presents (thanks everyone!). We spent the weekend eating, apple picking, walking, and listening to the SU marching band. Needless to say, time flew by and the weekend ended before we knew it. No worries- the left over food and cakes are a great reminder of the fun!

Two more weeks and Eric and I head back to the doctors for our next ultrasound. As of right now, I think we’ll let the baby’s gender be a surprise, though we could find out if we wanted. Until then, it’s work for us both, a visit from Laura, and probably a lot of sleeping for me!
We miss you all!
