We just got back from a trip to Atlanta for my birthday. We had a wonderful visit! The biggest news this week is I finally had to break down and buy some maternity pants and boy can I just tell you that it is the most comfort I have felt in weeks! I just can't suck it in anymore! But still not much to take a picture of yet.
Here's what is going on this week.....(I get this info from babycenter.com)
Your baby weighs 5 ounces now (about as much as a turnip), and he's around 5 inches long. The umbilical cord, his lifeline to the placenta, is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby can move his joints, and his skeleton — until now, rubbery cartilage — is starting to harden into bone. Some of it will remain cartilage for years after he's born. A newborn's skeleton has 300 parts (a combination of bone and cartilage). As your child grows, some of these parts harden and fuse together. By the time your baby reaches adulthood, he'll have just 206 bones.
