Well, I know it's not as interesting as the PB debate, but here's what's going on with Kaylynn this week.
Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts her at just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), she cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon start to plump up. Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help her air sacs inflate once she hits the outside world. Her skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
Oh man, last night was the most she's ever moved in one setting. I fell asleep for like 5 minutes and she woke me up. She wasn't just kicking, I think she was doing full out Tae Kwon Do or something (hopefully she's not learning how to kick people in the head like that Olympian did). Perhaps it was the apple juice or the hot fudge sundae that gave her a sugar rush...yeah, yeah, I know sugar highs are fake...leave me alone. :)
