I forgot to upload this picture from our March 26th ultrasound. Our doctor gave us a nice profile shot of the baby's head, so we know that all the facial "fixtures" are where they are supposed to be!I can't believe time has flown by and it's already May - so I'm sure the baby has done a lot of growing since this last picture, especially since I'm growing right along with him/her. Can't wait for this coming Tuesday morning, when we get to see him or her again!
According to this week's update: "Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you. Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid."
