Week 19

well for those of you who dont know, and i dont know who that would be, we are having an angel like me! a girl you num nuts! i cant tell you how excited we both are! we have chosen the name Madison Taylor so the stream of name suggestions like rumplesteltskin can come to an end; weve got it under control. and im talking to you honey. we have also started to make nursery plans and thus far have an idea for a mural and chosen the wall color. its a very soft and light shade of purple called misty lilac. when we, and i mean you again david, get done painting it will be beautiful! as far as the mural, we'd like to have a castle fit for a princess on the wall behind madison's crib. sounds magical huh? i think so!

now as far as the baby herself: she is doing well and the last ultrasound didnt show anything that we should be worried about. she is developing at a normal rate, has a healthy heartbeat, and all other organs are strong. her brain however is larger than normal which forces me to assume that she must be getting all the smarts from her mother...Madison weighed 6 oz and was 6 inches long at the beginning of last week and according to my your-baby-as-fruit website, she is the size of a mango this week.

sorry the pictures arent so clear, but you get the idea: someone is really in there!





awwwwwwwww!

now usually i would leave some final fun developmental facts here about the baby, but, well...nothing is really going on. her organs are continuing to grow rapidly and i read something about a wax starting to form on her skin. snooze fest, i know. but as she gets bigger and i start to feel her kicking me, i will definitely keep you all posted! thanks for everyones support and excitement, we appreciate and love you all!
