Oh my goodness, he's getting so big! I really did mean to write last week, especially to announce that he was the size of a rutabaga....(what the HECK? It's some kind of warped, furry vegetable!) but life has been a bit nuts. I am getting ready to shoot my second official wedding this coming Saturday and am traveling a whole bunch this week for work. So...here's the stats for this week!
He is about 14 inches long and weighs about 1.75 pounds! He is the length of a hothouse cucumber. Can you believe these veggies? My favorite development this week is that he is practicing "breathing" with amniotic fluid so his little lungs develop. Also he can probably hear our voices and recognize mine and Chad's. :) :) :) He is filling out, getting some good fat on him. (I bet his mom helps him out with that with her never-ending appetite!) And since we are all friends and I know you won't embarass him with this later, his little testes are dropping so he's becoming a full fledged little man this week! Sorry, baby boy. I just love talking about your developments because it's all I have until you are here!
I am still feeling great for the most part. It is indeed getting more and more uncomfortable to sit, bend over, squat, etc. He is still very active, especially after I eat. And it feels pretty surreal. But it's a reminder that he's in there and healthy and I love it!
And the best news is that I get another 3d ultrasound this week! Pictures soon to follow!

Atta boy - lookin' good! Take good care, both of you! Your "great grand pap" Harold M.
ReplyDeleteI think that little guy needs to come to the farm this Saturday and help plant some Elderberries with Papa Randy.
