Weekly update (a day late, AGAIN!) 22 Weeks

Week: 22

MONTH: 5

TRIMESTER: 2

GENDER: GIRL!!!!!

THIS WEEK THE BABY IS: Baby girl you are now 11 inches and almost 1 pound, your now starting to look like a miniature newborn. Your lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and your even developing tiny tooth buds beneath your precious gums. Lil girl your eyes have formed, but your irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If I could see inside my belly, I'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers your beautiful body and the deep wrinkles on your skin, which you will sport until you add padding of fat to fill them in. Inside your belly, your pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

THE BABY SIZE:

WEIGHT GAIN: 17 lbs!

SYMPTOMS: Tired and uncomfortable.

CURRENT MOOD: Bored, but I am excited for football season to start and it will make the season and weeks fly by!
