week 27

I've be very bad at taking pictures lately ( week 26 - no pic ). This one taken with Jason's phone mid golf round.



Baby's lungs are going through some major developments these days, which (combined with the opening of previously plugged nostrils) means he's now able to practice inhaling and exhaling. The lack of air in your womb means every "breath" is filled with amniotic fluid, but hey -- it's progress.

week 25

Baby's now the size of an eggplant!
That oh-so-handy sense of equilibrium is kicking in, and baby's learning to distinguish right side up from upside down.


Happy Easter!

week 24

week 23- St. Patrick's Day

Baby's now the size of a papaya!
Baby's little face is fully formed...minus the baby fat, of course. The next task at hand for baby: sprouting two teeny-tiny nipples!

I am starting to feel movement everyday now. It feels like my whole insides are shaking and pounding. Pretty wild!

week 22

Baby's now the size of a papaya!
Baby's settling into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.

week 21

On a walk through my Grandmother's neighborhood, Severna Park, Maryland.


At Cantler's.
Baby's now the size of a banana!
Baby's digestive system is busy creating meconium (a tarry black substance made of swallowed amniotic fluid, digestive secretion, and dead cells), which will fill the first diaper after birth.
