Well today marks the 6 month mark for me! I still really need to cook a little longer. I am ready to see you all but not ready quite yet.
Mom and I go see the doctor a week from today! We are really hoping he will schedule mom a sonogram this time. I know she is wanting to see me as well as I want to show her how much I am growing in here.
An update on me-I'm growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts me at just over a pound. I'm almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), I cut a pretty lean figure at this point, but my body is filling out proportionally and I'll soon start to plump up. My brain is also growing quickly now, and my taste buds are continuing to develop. My lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help my air sacs inflate once I hit the outside world. My skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
Wow-o-Wow~~ That's a lot from last week. Mom checks out my growth every week on this cool website.
Well I have to go for now. I love you all and promise we will all meet soon!!!
XOXO
