22 Weeks

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

This last week I haven't been feeling very good. Jeffrey came down with a cold and must have given it to me, so not that much has been going on. I did manage to have David take a picture of my belly, it is not a very good picture but I will post it. 

We have our doctors appointment tomorrow so hopefully everything will go well and maybe we will get an ultrasound.

As I was typing this post, the baby started moving a lot. I put Jeffrey's hand on my belly and he felt the baby kick twice for the first time. He was really excited!
