A little info.....

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.

Meet our little GIRL. That's right, we're having a girl...sugar, spice and everything nice!

Below is a profile of her little face (click on the image to see a larger view). We were able to see so much detail during the ultrasound. We saw her face, feet, toes, hands, leg bones, spine, heart and much more. We even saw her moving on the monitor.

Not only could we see her move, but I've started to feel her move as well. It's the coolest thing. Like little butterfly kisses in my tummy.

She is about 10.5 inches long and weighs about 3/4 of a pound. I can't believe she's that long.

Only 133 days left to go. We've purchased the furniture for the nursery and are anxious for her arrival. My health has been great and my energy level is almost back to normal. I'm starting to show a little bit and am much more comfortable in maternity clothes, although I can still squeeze into my regular clothes.
