22 wks

5 1/2 months.

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.

another site says - You and baby are both getting anxious to meet each other! Your baby is kicking up a storm and you feel like you're getting bigger every day.

Your baby: Your baby weighs over 12 ounces and is more than 7 inches long. Baby's eyelids and eyebrows have developed and her muscles are growing stronger - something you can feel by the strength of the movement in your tummy. Your baby is probably moving more regularly now - not just once in awhile. After birth, she'll recognize the songs you sing or play for her now, resulting in a soothing effect.

i'm getting a little bigger. i'll try to have mike take a pic this weekend. my belly button has gotten a little smaller. my steering wheel seems a bit closer and my coat is hard to button. :)

we got into the classes we want and we are looking forward to learning more. still feeling good.
