Baby Girl is now starting to look like a tiny newborn. Her lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and she's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath her gums. Her eyes have formed, but her irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If we could see inside my womb, we'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers her body and the deep wrinkles on her skin, which she'll sport until she adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside the Little Miss' belly, her pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
The Little Miss is becoming very active in the womb. She's yet to cooperate long enough for Y to get a feel but we're beginning to notice her movements externally. Her nursery now has most of the furniture. The crib, dress, and glider were delivered this past weekend. All that remains is a small bookcase and a fresh coat of paint on the walls. The painting really should have come before the furniture but there just wasn't enough time!
We're off to the east coast to visit family and friends while I'm still able to travel. Updates may be delayed until we return. 22 week belly pics should be posted soon!
