sleepy time.

wee's got new digs... here's some pictures





and that mobile is shazam! so far i've resisted the urge to curl up in this fine crib but i don't know how strong my will really is. i should be monitored.

what! monkey face rug? oh yes. it was necessary.


i got this nifty thing from my mama. it is a big 'c' and it is super comfortable. i still get woken up by this and THIS! but things are looking up in the pillow department. thanks mom!

latest doc visit stats:
wee heartrate: 153 bpm
april poundage:13 lbs since it all began

********************************
Week Twenty-Four
  • Bring on the bulk! Baby gains about 6 ounces this week. The weight is in muscle, bone mass and organs.
  • His body begins to fill out with his appearance increasingly becoming more like a newborn.
  • Taste buds begin to form. If mom drinks something strange or bitter, baby may be observed showing his distaste.
  • Little creases have appeared on his palms. The muscular coordination of his hands has improved as he sucks his thumb.
  • Over the next seven days the sweat glands will be forming in the skin.
  • His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" and cells that produce surfactant, a substance that helps the air sacs inflate easily.
  • This week your baby is officially considered viable.
  • Baby weighs 1.3 pound (600gm) and is 11.8 inches (30cm) long -- almost the length of a ruler!
check out that lanugo. wee baby probably has a bit of excessive lanugo going on if herschel is any indication. that combined with the heartburn i've been experiencing...not just a wives tale?
