It's Mommy again! This week you are the size of a spaghetti squash...which honestly, Mommy had no idea what that was! So here's a picture of one:
This week you have reached the 1 pound mark! Which is kind of crazy because Mommy added that pound a long time ago! :) Now you have developed your sense of touch and are starting to further develop your grip. You may even from time to time grab a hold of the umbilical cord; after all it's like the only thing in there with you! Your sight is also further developing; you can perceive the difference between light and dark. Above those eyes you now have grown eyelids and eyelashes; and the hair on your head is continuing to grow as well. Supposedly though, there is no pigment to your hair yet; therefore it is bright white right now! Surely it will do a lot of darkening these next few months as Daddy and I both have very dark hair.
You are continuing to move around in there and kick up a storm. Everyday I feel you more and more. And last night, Daddy even got lucky enough to feel a small kick! You seem to like to do most of your moving when I'm laying in bed, whether that be first thing in the morning or late at night. Feeling you has really made me think about what you are doing in there. I'm constantly wondering which way you're facing, how you're turned, am I feeling your arms, legs, head...what? I almost wish I had my own ultrasound machine so I could check in on you whenever I wanted. Next week I'll get to peak at you though!
Next week will be a busy week for us. Tuesday is our growth ultrasound and Friday is your fetal echo. Which means that yet again, I will have to resist the temptation to find out what your gender is. It's so exciting we get to see you once a month, but it is going to be so so tempting!
