Another great doctor's appointment this morning.
Deona is progressing well and belly is starting to get pretty round. :) We heard baby's heart beat today (in the 160's per minute).
Deona's actually has lost weight (8 lbs) since getting pregnant, as she has cut out sodas, and is no longer able to eat quite as much.
Guess what's happening to the food that gets left on her plate?
YOU GUESSED IT....Monica's gaining the weight she's losing. OY!!
Our next appointment is December 20th - we'll find out the sex of the baby....cant wait!!!
What's happening about now...
Thyroid gland has matured and your baby begins producing hormones which will be used throughout his or her life. In boys, the prostate gland develops
In girls, the ovaries move from the abdomen to the pelvis
Your little one may have learned to suck his thumb by this point!
Your child's bones are getting harder and stronger by the day!
Your baby's skin is very transparent still
Lanugo (very fine hair) covers the baby's body and will continue to grow until 26 weeks gestational age - Generally this will be shed prior to birth. Its purpose is to help protect baby's skin while in all that water!
Your baby is 3.42 inches (8.7cm) long and weighs about 1.52 ounces (43 grams) - approximately the weight of a letter!
Our baby's nursery now has a crib, changing table, cradle and we bought a cradle for Grammy Jordan's house.
