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.
We will soon begin working more on the nursery... I HOPE :) This week will be a little busy and next week I will be workng a lot, then we will go on vacation with Daniel's family!!! So when we return I am hoping to starting painting the nursery and hopefully getting some furniture started! I am hesitant to pick out the nursery paint color until we have picked out the bedding. For some reason I have had the hardest time picking out bedding. I will post pictures once everything starts coming together.
Little girl is constantly moving and I am starting just to be able to see my stomach move when she moves. :) I have a check up on Thursday of this week.
