22 Weeks...


Here's what Babycenter has to say for week 22...

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.
Here's what I have to say...
I've been feeling a lot more activity from our baby - this afternoon I was laying on the couch and I could feel his movements for the first time on my arm laid across my belly...so maybe now LD can feel the baby too!
He also really seems to either like flying or he hates flying - I get a lot of movement when we fly. I see the DR. on Tuesday & I'll have to ask her what she thinks about the air pressure in the Cirrus & how that may affect the baby.
