Well, things are going well. I've grown out of all of my "normal" clothes. Although, I guess that's fitting since there doesn't seem to be much that feels normal about this whole process. ;) So maternity clothes it is. Thankfully, I have many friends who have let me borrow their maternity clothes, since most of mine are sweaters and such from being pregnant in the fall and winter with Emma Cate. Poor planning, huh? June 5th is the next ultrasound, and hopefully we'll find out boy or girl. Until then, we'll continue to play the name game!!! :)

Everything's going well. I'm feeling good and my belly is starting to grow! Back to the Dr on Tues.
How baby's growing: At around 4 inches long, crown to rump, baby now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. Busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in the lungs. Baby can move all his joints and limbs. That means the hands are more functional, too. Sweat glands are appearing, and although eyelids are fused shut, baby can sense light. Baby's taste buds are beginning to form.
