Baby B, the apple of my eye, is now approximately 4 inches long (and is compared to the size of... yep, you guessed it... an apple!) and weighs approx. 2.5 ounces. Major developments this week are: primitive air sacs in lungs start to form; legs are growing longer than arms; and Baby B can sense light (eyelids still remain fused shut). Also, taste buds are starting to form as well. Felt another little flutter of movement from Baby B (I was rocking in our recliner) and I still can't get over what an amazing feeling that is. I've started talking and singing to the baby a lot. Hopefully Baby B will be comforted by my voice. Also, I've started cleaning out the house... trying to get rid of stuff we haven't used to make room for baby. And now that I've started, I don't want to stop. I almost wish I could get rid of (almost) everything and just start all over with a clean slate. But that isn't feasible, so I'll just have to continue cleaning out one box at a time. I've been feeling a lot of stretching lately... guess my body is just adjusting to the on-going expansion. And my tummy is getting much more firm. All in preparation for baby. I love being pregnant! Just wish I was closer to my family! Really missing home now-a-days.
Well, that's all for now. Goodnight.
