halfway there!

halfway is a big milestone in pregnancy!
the first half has been a breeze, now i hope my belly gets bigger, the baby grows strong, and the second half is just as wonderful!

I've begun to have what feels like bubbles in my belly, what the doctors say is the first signs of feeling the baby's movement. before long, I'm sure she'll be kicking at my tummy non stop!

and this week (19 weeks) I've been told something weird... baby looks like a mango dipped in cheese due to a little growth spurt (she's about a half pound in weight and six inches long) and covered in a substance called vernix caseosa. This greasy white stuff covers her skin, protecting her from the amniotic fluid. (Without it, she'd look totally wrinkled as she entered into our world.)
