19 Weeks

This week Baby Sonny is six inches longs and weighs 8 ounces.  Baby Sonny is approximately the size of a large mango!  The arms and legs are finally in proportion, neurons connect the brain and muscles, and cartilage is turning to bone.  Many of the senses are developing specialized areas in the brain for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch.  And hair is starting to sprout on the scalp!

Last week Jeff and I went down to NoVA for Liz and Tim's wedding.  I was fortunate enough to arrive Thursday night along with the other bridesmaids.  On Friday we all went to the Red Door Salon for massages, manicures, and pedicures.  My pregnancy massage was fantastic!  Friday afternoon was the rehearsal followed by dinner.  Jeff had an exam Friday morning but arrived partway through dinner.  We then had a night cap at the hotel bar (I had a tall glass of water).  On Saturday the girls went for hair and make-up followed by pictures.  And then it was time for the wedding!  The wedding took place on the top story of a building in Tyson's Corner with stellar views of the surrounding city and mountains.  The ceremony was short and sweet and then it was time for dinner and dancing!

This is one day after the wedding, I'm not sure what happened over night but I think my belly is here to stay!
