Weekly Update - 22 Weeks!

Wednesday, March 4, 2009

Time is flying by!! At least for now it is...I am sure when we hit 30 - 35 weeks though it might slow down haha! Things are still going really well...here is our 22 Week update! From now on, little peanut only gets a new fruit or vegetable every couple of weeks...so she is a Papaya until Week 25...
How is Baby Growing?

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