22 Weeks

Here is the 22 Week BUMPdate - 12/18/13:

And the side-by-side from last week:

She is 11 inches and a little more than a pound.  She's about the size of a spaghetti squash this week

As her eyebrows, eyelids, and lips become more distinct she looks more and more like a real baby.  :)  She's developing tiny tooth buds below her gums and her eyes have formed, but the colored part still lacks pigment.

She is head down right now and we're praying that she stays that way!  Julie has been feeling well lately and we are both having fun planning these final months of this journey together.  I get to see her in a little over three weeks and I simply can't wait to feel that belly.  I'm planning hours of just sitting on the couch with my hand on her belly waiting to feel my daughter move in there.  And I can't wait to read to her belly.  And talk to her belly.  Anyway, you all get the idea.  :)

I hope you have a wonderful Thursday - ONE more day until FRIDAY {aka…Winter Break!}
