Developmental Tidbits: Baby is just over two inches long, about the size of a lime, and weighs half an ounce. The most dramatic development this week: Reflexes. Baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, toes will curl, eye muscles will clench, and mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, baby will squirm in response to prodding on my abdomen, although obviously I can't feel it just yet. The intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into the abdominal cavity about now, and the kidneys will begin excreting urine into the bladder. Fun Stuff!!!
In other baby news, since I am finally feeling a lot better and the food aversions aren't terribly bad (I even ate pizza today...with red sauce!), we went out to browse some baby items. We found furniture that we love, but are going to shop around to make sure we see everything. At the mall, we even strolled through BabyGap and picked up a onesie that was on clearance...Chris picked it out and I agreed that we just had to buy it.
Happy Veterans Day to all you veterans out there!!!!!!!! And happy anniversary to Maggie and Mark!!
