19 weeks

The baby's the size of a large heirloom tomato. Last week it was a red bell pepper. Week 17 the baby was the size of a turnip. Turnip's a much cuter nickname than tomato.
In other news, the Husband's younger brother and his wife are having a baby girl! Now I'll have a nephew AND a niece! I'm beyond excited. People keep asking us what we think we're having (usually I respond with a smart-ass remark like, "well, hopefully a baby?") but I really don't know. I had been dreaming about a baby boy but last night-surprise, surprise, it was a baby girl! We'll find out in August. That's right, we're not finding out at our ultrasound we've got in two weeks.
We're getting really excited for our trip to Boston. We've only got to get through one more week of school and it's jam-packed so I'm hoping that will make the week go by more quickly.
Life is good. Very, very good.
