Week 24

Well we finally got the Christmas tree up, and I am very happy about that. Our bay window area in our dining room was so full of baby stuff that there wasn't any room for a tree. James and I managed to move the crib and other things into the downstairs bedroom after I cleaned that out a bit. As much as I love Christmas, I'm really hating wrapping gifts this year. Reaching for things when I am wrapping gifts is somewhat difficult. I'm half tempted to use gift bags for everything this year....that is a pretty lazy thing to do though.

Anyway, here is what is happening with the baby this week:
"Your baby weighs a little over a pound and is about 8 1/2 inches long -- the size of a banana. Your baby's skin becomes less translucent as pigment is deposited, and it looks wrinkly because his body is making his skin more quickly than it makes the fat to pad underneath it. Your baby's unique hand and footprints are forming."

New Baby Name Poll

So I am sure all of you were tired of the crappy boy names of the previous boy name poll. James and I have spent some time on these ones. Hopefully you will find one you like :) Please vote!

Week 22

Well this is the start of week 22. I can hardly believe it. The nursery is no where near ready. I wanted to put the Christmas tree up this weekend, but we have so much baby stuff in the dining room there isn't any room for it. Oh well.

Here is what is happening with the baby:
"Your fetus weighs about 15 ounces (425 grams) and measures 10.8 inches (27.5 centimeters) in length. His body is long, slender, and well-developed. Your baby's eyelids and eyebrows are fully formed, and his brain is entering a period of rapid growth. If you're carrying a boy, his testes have begun to descend from his pelvis to his scrotum."
