WEEK 19! Large Mango!

Gia is weighing 9 oz and about 6.5 inches or so long! Here comes the kicking and body surfing and from what Sal and I saw yesterday on the ultrasound our little one loves to dance, like her mamma! LOL. Gia also has a protective covering around her, kind of a cheesy waxy substance called vernix caseosa, which means waxy cheese in Latin. The primary purpose of this coating is to protect Gia from the surrounding amniotic fluid.

My new pillow I ordered to help my hip pain has helped! I have been sleeping more at night except for the increase in waking to pee :) Leg cramps are normal now also because of my growing uterus. I usually am all over my classroom when I teach so, I really have had to slow it down and sit more, which is hard for me, but necessary at this point. Also, boy have I popped out! So, awesome and loving every minute of it!

Some pictures.. Gia's Aunt Camille and Uncle Ron got Gia the cutest bibs and outfit and AUNT TAMI pictures of me in clothes so you can see my bump! Belly shot comes Friday!
