Almost 19 weeks!



According to the schedule of my Pregnancy the baby is Head to bottom, approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper), and he/she weighs almost 7 ounces. He/she is busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that I'll likely start noticing more and more. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around his/her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he/her born.
I AM REALLY EXCITED. THE MORNING SICKNESS IS GONE BUT I STILL NEED TO BE CAREFUL WITH OVERDOING THINGS. FOR INSTANCE, OUR FAMILY IS MOVING IN THE NEXT TWO WEEKS SO I HAVE BEEN PACKING AND SEEM TO FORGET HOW DOING TOO MUCH AT A TIME CAN AFFECT ME ADVERSELY. I WORKED ONE WHOLE WEEKEND AND THOUGHT NOTHING OF IT. UNFORTUNATELY, IT TOOK A FEW DAYS AND I CRASHED PHYSICALLY.
THE BABY IS DOING GREAT THOUGH; I AM SO EXCITED EVERY TIME I GET TO HEAR THE HEARTBEAT. IT IS A RUSH OF AMAZEMENT AND JOY.
THANK YOU GOD FOR ALL THAT YOU ARE DOING AND ALL THAT YOU WILL DO.
THANK YOU ALL FOR YOUR ENCOURAGEMENT AND ALL YOUR PRAYERS GOD IS DOING GREAT THINGS.
SO AS OF APRIL 1ST WE THE RICES WILL BE MOVED INTO A DUPLEX ON NORTH OLIVER ROAD OFF OF FRANKLIN NEAR WALTON.
LOVE YOU ALL AND WILL KEEP IN TOUCH.
