You are growing by leaps and bounds. According to babycenter.com, from head to heels, you now measures about 13 1/2 inches long!!!! You probably weigh about a pound and a half to two pounds ( an average rutabaga ), and you are finally putting on some baby fat! As you gain more fat, your wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and you'll start to look more and more like a newborn!!!! So exciting! You are also growing more hair — and if we could see it, we'd now be able to discern it's color and texture!
Wren is not the only one with more hair — Mommy's hair is more full and lustrous than ever! At least I think so! Thanks to hormonal changes, the hair that she'd normally shed is sticking around longer than usual. She is even finding dark hairs in places where she doesn't want to see them....like her belly....especially near the belly button!
Mommy has also noticed that she can't move around as gracefully as before. The swelling has taken over the entire body....especially her hands/fingers and feet/ toes! The worst pregnancy systems now include siatic nerve pain, charlie horses in her legs, HEARTBURN and vivid dreams!!! She has also gained 12 lbs. so far......But you are worth it!!
We love you!
Mimi
