Interesting Facts: Your baby continues to grow and develop inside of you. Measuring about 14.5 inches long, he weighs just about 2 lbs, like the head of a ^cauliflower!
     This week, his brain is developing quickly. His eyelids, which have remained closed up until this point, begin to open and now his retinas can begin to form. The retina contains specialized photoreceptor cells that respond to light, called rods and cones. Cones in particular help us perceive color. His skin is still wrinkly but by 27 weeks, he basically looks how he will look when you give birth to him, in just a few months!

Maternity Clothes: Yes. Still wearing a mix of both maternity & regular- I should just remove this section!

Gender: BOY!!!

Movement: No change!

What I miss: Nothing I can think of.

Sleep: Good.

Symptoms: Still having that muscle cramp in my right arm, and my leg started up in the wee hours one night. Nothing else to report, thankfully!

Other Notes: I LOVE being pregnant!!!

Cravings: Nothing in particular this week. Still crunching ice, especially at work where we have a pellet ice dispenser!

Best moment this week: Getting some AWESOME gifts in the mail- we feel the love! Thank you so much {although I don't think "you" read this}.

What we are looking forward to: The Fair this weekend!
