Week 22

Only 3 more weeks until our 3rd trimester! Man isnt that crazy ha??? Well this week has been very similar to the past few weeks in where I can feel Griffin moving all over the place! He continues to be active after I eat and in the middle of the night.. I hope that means he doesnt have his days and nights mixed up!! I am really enjoying being at home now, as it now seems that my priority can be solely on getting ready for him. Not just his room, but physically staying in shape, reading up on all the books I have been wanting to read, and praying for him as he continues to grow. I cant help but let my mind wander to what he will look like, what his personality will be like, etc. Oh I cant wait :)




At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his 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 his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
