Week 22

We haven't had a chance to take a picture yet this week.  I've been sorta lazy in the showering and looking nice department.  I'll have Matt snap one tonight so that I can upload it soon.

Our baby weighs over a pound now!  Wow.  Other note wortyh developments is that our little sweetie is now starting to make more sense of the world around him/her.  Our little one's sense of touch is developing, ( I can't wait until Bebe makes an appearance and grabs hold of my finger (and Matt's) for the very first time), as well as their sight.

 I can just imagine Bebe relaxin' in there, floating around in the amniotic fluid- holding on to the umbilical cord, wondering who keeps turning the lights on and off.

Ok not really- even though Bebe can sense light and dark, it's pretty dark in there- but if I were to put a flashlight up to my belly, they would be able to detect the light.

Hair is also starting to sprout on top of that precious little baby head.  I wonder what color it will turn out to be?!  Matt and I both had light blond hair as children, so I'd guess this one is going to be in the blond department also.  But right now as Bebe floats around, their hair is bright white, becuase at this stage of fetal developement the hair has no pigment.

Keep growing little one!  We can't wait for your arrival- but we will- because you can't make an appearance until we have somewhere to put you, and well, you still have alot of developing to do.  18 weeks to go!
