I know I haven't posted in a while. I haven't been on the computer too much at all lately. I have been busy with Sophy and friends. For those of you who asked Trish and Annabelle are doing great. Annabelle even smiled a true smile at me the other day! I can't believe she's already old enough to smile! Sophy is doing well. We are all three of us fighting allergies, but it is that time of year! The new baby is growing very quickly now. I have definitely gained weight now and have a hard time finding clothes to fit me, even a lot of my maternity clothes don't fit anymore. I have a very busy couple of weeks coming up. I'm having an ultrasound on Friday to check size and position. I'll try to post pictures as soon as I can. My friends from church are throwing me a baby shower on Sunday. I'm very excited about it! I have a new dress (that fits!), I got my toe nails painted, and I got a haircut so I'll look cute for all the pictures. It still seems like time is flying by. I guess that feeling will only get worse. I'm actually not too anxious about the new arrival, just busy!
Here's what Baby Center says about the new baby:
| This week your baby weighs a little over 4 pounds and measures 17.2 inches from the top of his head to his heels. Thanks to his recent weight gain, he's losing that wrinkled alien look. Most of your baby's bones are hardening now, but his skull is still quite pliable. It's actually in separate pieces with spaces in between. This flexible structure allows your baby's head to compress so it can fit through your relatively narrow birth canal. The pressure on the head during birth is so intense that many babies are born with a conehead-like appearance. This is totally harmless, normal, and temporary. Your baby's head will quickly take on a more rounded appearance, but his skull plates won't completely fuse until he's about 9 to 18 months old. |
