Good Morning - another chilly day for us all. Nathan is off on an overnight road trip from Illinois to Wisconsin. It started off even chillier than normal as the heat was not working in the truck. About a half hour ago a guy from worked called to see how things were going. Nathan said, "Good! Except I'm freezing!" Apparently there is a lever under the hood where you can turn the heat off - yup - someone had already done that for the summer. Once Nathan found that out he stopped and turned it back on and is enjoying a nice warm trip to IL.
Baby and Mom are doing well. Yesterday I was sitting at my desk laughing because it felt like he was doing a TaeBo workout in there! It was like ARM, LEG, LEG, ARM, ARM, ARM, LEG....... I was cracking up. I hadn't even eaten any sugar! He seems to be more active in the mornings/early afternoons than at night. Nathan says he certainly doesn't take after his father who is the anti-morning person! :-) Must be like his Mom then! Nathan and I need to get to a baby store and look at bedding for the nursery and get the whole registering process going.
The house is coming together nicely. Just some more painting and base boards to do and then we should be about ready to move in! There are other little things to do, but we'll get to those after we move in. All that nasty wallpaper is down (THANKS MOM!!-better her than me...) :-) and the main level is almost done being painted! (Thanks Dad!) So we are well on our way! The grass was mowed for the first time last night too! I can't wait to get in and start arranging things and unpacking and nesting as they call it.
That is about it from the land outside my uterus.... as for INSIDE here you go....
Your baby now looks like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9 inches (the length of a speghetti squash) and almost 1 pound. (He was 12oz at 20 weeks and 1 day so chances are his is over a pound now!) His skin will continue to appear wrinkled until he gains enough weight to fill it out, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his head and body is now visible. His lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of teeth are appearing as buds beneath his gum line. His eyes are developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks pigment. (Any guesses on eye color? The majority of both sides have blue, but we have some browns and greens in the mix too. I'm guessing blue when he comes out!) Eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and his pancreas, essential for hormone production, is developing steadily.
That is about it!
