I can't believe I forgot to post my weekly update last thursday. You see? That pregnancy brain is really getting to me! Actually I was busy packing and being all excited for our weekend trip to the US. Kyle, Laura, and I went down across the border on Friday and met mom & dad at the Skagit. We went to the Casino, lost a bit of money and did a whole lot of shopping. Kyle and I bought a "Nursery in a Box" - which is a crib, change table and dresser. I'm so excited to get started on the nursery!! After waiting in a 2 hour line at the border last night, we are back home now, and I'm going to start my Christmas gift wrapping shortly.
Well, here is the weekly status report, a few days late.....
Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and he's around 5 inches long. He can move his joints, and his skeleton — until now rubbery cartilage — is starting to harden to bone. His sense of hearing is also developing. The umbilical cord, his lifeline to the placenta, is growing stronger and thicker.
Oh yes, and I did get the doppler just over a week ago, and have been using it every few days to listen to the bean. Kyle and I didn't know how to use it at first and we thought we found 3 different heartbeats down there!! But than we figured out that only one was a heartbeat and the other noises were my own blood being pumped to the baby.. We have our ultrasound coming up on November 29th and I'll definatley share some pictures on here.
