You are growing so much and everyday I am amazed at the little person you are becoming. You love to kick these days, and it doesn't bother me one bit! I love to know that you are active and well. It's exciting that I get to take you everywhere I go and you can hear everything I say .. or should that worry me? You are about the size of an ear of corn these days (11.8 inches). Your growing lungs continue to practice breathing skills, and they are developing immensely to be able to perform the necessary functions required to sustain life outside of the womb. You're starting to thicken up .. right along with Mom! Your face is filling out and as well as your body. I can't wait to squeeze your little cheeks! Your muscles are growing, your bones are strengthening, and your organs are continuing to develop.
We had an ultrasound last week and the Ultrasound Technician checked for many things. She checked that your heart was developing and at the correct stage. She checked to make sure your bladder was there and that your kidneys were in the correct place. She checked your spine and ruled out spina bifida. The measured you probably 7 different ways to make sure you were all "up-to-date" with your growing. I was comforted to know that about 90% of birth defects have been ruled out.
It was so fun to see you move around and try and suck on your hands and feet. To see you swallow and do normal baby things. I love you so much and can't wait to meet you. But we need you to stay in there a little while longer and continue to grow healthy and strong so you can be ready for your life here on earth. There are so many things we want to do when you arrive and so many adventures we want to take, but you need to be physically ready so hold on to your diaper and stay put for about
Here are the pictures from your most recent ultrasound. I sure do enjoy these sneak-peeks of my baby.
