So far I have had a great weekend with enough energy to actually do a little cleaning in the house. Babies are much more active, it is fun to feel them. I am still getting great sleep although I am getting up to use the restroom 2-3 times per night. Very excited about my next doctors appointment tomorrow, hope we get a good ultrasound tech and get to see the babies more defined. Now little babies don't be bashful we want to get a good look at you both. I hope baby sis has followed suit with big brother and is head down. Tomorrow we will find out!!
This week:
Your Baby
Big news for baby's brain this week: It's starting to wrinkle and fold and looks like something that grew in the back of your fridge. This is due to the rapid growth of your little genius's brain cells. Other highlights this week:Fingernails and toenails are finally finished—causing his or her parents great fear and anguish the first time they try to cut those little daggers (it gets easier, we promise)! Plus, the bone marrow is completely in charge of red-blood-cell production now. Trust us, this is a good thing.Baby is starting to shed his lanugo—the downy hair that was covering his skin. Now that he's chubbier and better able to regulate his body temp, he doesn't need to sport a fur coat 24/7."I spy an umbilical cord and the inside of my mom's uterus!" When your baby is awake, his eyes are now wide open and he's whittling away the hours looking around, checking out his rather dark, limited environs. Your baby hasn't gained much weight or height this week, as most of his energy's been channeled to the brain. He weighs about 3 pounds and is approximately 15.5 inches long.
