Oct. 7: Time keeps going by. I haven’t been on the computer much in the last week, and when I logged on this evening, I was shocked to see that I’ve reached the 22 week mark. The illustration for this week is a little weird looking. I know that the baby has very little fat, but this one looks a whole lot like ET:)
I had some fun recently looking at the posts that I had done during my pregnancy with Andrew. They’re available at the very start of my blog or right here. So far, this pregnancy has been really, really easy. I’m feeling the baby moving a lot of the time, and I’m feeling very loving toward her. I love anticipating that the little person who is growing inside of me could grow to become one of my favorite people in the whole wide world. Pictures of the ultrasound and some exciting new baby clothes are in the gallery.
Here’s the 22 week update from BabyCenter.com
How your baby’s growing:
Your baby now looks like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9 inches and almost 1 pound. Her skin will continue to appear wrinkled until she gains enough weight to fill it out, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers her head and body is now visible. Her lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of teeth are appearing as buds beneath her gum line. Her eyes are developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks pigment. Eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and her pancreas, essential for hormone production, is developing steadily.
