22 Weeks- Almost 6 Months!

I feel great! I can't believe there's only 4 months left to go! I am reading books like crazy! And I've noticed that it is very difficult to bend down to my feet like I used to. It's hard to tie my shoes! :D She's been moving a lot everyday. I feel her change positions and still feel pretty hard kicks that don't hurt- just feel so weird! It reassures me she's doing fine in there!

How Our Baby Girl's Growing: At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. Her lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and she's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath her gums. Her eyes have formed, but her irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers her body and the deep wrinkles on her skin, which she'll sport until she adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside her belly, her pancreas —essential for the production of some important hormones— is developing steadily.
