It was so weird in the beginning for me to think I was pregnant. It all seemed so far away. It is starting to set in that I will be a mom of 2 before the snow flies probably! NUTS!
Here is an update on where you guys are at...
Your babie's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts them at just over a pound. Since they are almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), they cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but their bodies are filling out proportionally and they'll soon start to plump up. Their brains are also growing quickly now, and their taste buds are continuing to develop. Their lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help their air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. Their skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
