19 weeks

I feel like so much of what I have to share this week has already been said, but I thought I'd go ahead and share the standard weekly information. Our little guy is about the size of an heirloom tomato this week (though, as we shared, we know he's a little bigger than average, so consider him a very large heirloom tomato!). Sensory development is key this week, with the brain developing sections specific for sight, sound, taste, smell, and touch. Some research shows that he can begin hearing us this week, so we've started talking to him. So far the conversations (if you can call them that) focus mainly on how goofy his dad is.

Today, we spent another 2 1/2 hours at Babies R Us. We tackled as much of the Infant Care section as we could before I reached my shopping limit. As much fun as it is to debate between one pair of baby nail clippers and another, there's only so much of that one person can take in a day! Babies R Us is divided into four main sections, and we've worked our way through most of two of those sections, so we're hopefully about halfway there. Our registry is now 5 pages, so that seems to say we're getting there!
