19 weeks and counting...

Dear Baby,
Today marks our 19 weeks in this wonderful journey called Pregnancy :) That means we're half ways there...I think. That of course depends on when You want to and/or when You're ready to come out of Mommy's belly and join us in the real world :) Your Daddy is so excited for that day to come when he gets to meet you for the first time, hold you, play with you, and just BE A DADDY to You. He talks to you more often now...do you hear that silly voice of his? hehehe :) For me, I just want you to enjoy your time growing in my belly for now. We haven't felt any movements or kicks yet so I'm excited for when you decide to kick Mommy...that sounds so bad. hahaha :) Just let be a gentle kick k?
Here's what BabyCenter has to say about You today:
How your baby's growing:

Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.
Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.

hehehe...hello my Tomato :) or in
Tagalog, you are now a Kamatis :0)

whoah... that's insane that we know all the progression that's happening inside your belly! WOW! I've heard of people playing music for the baby and how fast it helps the baby develop---wonder if it's true?
