Some updates on BB's progress:
Nearly four-inch long baby is happily mobile inside the womb. When sneezing, coughing or laughing, it results in a little kick here or a poke there. Although the poking and kicking isn't very charming during sleeping hours, it’s a good sign as it means baby is actually reacting to outside events. Yay! One active healthy baby! The little elbows and knees are bending more freely this week and the little legs are finally growing longer than the arms and getting pumped up for prenatal Richard Simmons. Many of the major organ systems are increasing in capacity—particularly that amazing tiny heart and complex circulation system, which is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood per day, and will increase to a very impressive 200 quarts per day by the end of the pregnancy. As far as hair goes, we’ve got some new scalp patterns beginning to develop on the head, although actual head hair is not yet present.
