Week 22

We got the crib which Miles put together this week and it looks great! We're going to start decorating the nursery soon which is exciting. The baby's wardrobe is slowly but steadily growing :) He recently received some clothes and stuffed animals all the way from Australia which are adorable, thanks to my Australian student Danae .

Nane Muhl was able to feel the baby move last night for the first time, so she was really excited about that. We read the babies Eastern/Western horoscope from one of Nane's books. He is a Sagittarius/Ox sign and from what we read, he will definitly lead a very exciting and impactful life. Let's just say it's written in the stars that he will be a great man :)

I'm still feeling about the same. The only frustrating times is when I get RL pain, which is really uncomfortable. I'm more off balance than usual. It's not uncommon for me to run into walls several times a day.

Hope everyone is doing great and we will give updates next week!

How your baby's growing:

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
