Welcome to the 2nd trimester! We've finally made it, 1 trimester down, 2 more to go.What's happening with the baby this week:
"At this time, your baby's face is becoming more developed. The cheeks and bridge of it's nose appear and the ears move from the sides of it's neck to much higher on his head. The eyes continue to come closer together. A big development from this week onward is the development of lanugo. Lanugo are the fine hairs that grow over almost all of your baby. The hairs grow in whirled patterns that follow the grain of his skin. These patterns later give way to your baby's fingerprints. The lanugo will be shed before birth and replaced by thicker, coarser hairs. Your baby's thyroid gland has matured and starts to produce hormones. If your baby is a boy, the prostate will appear and the ovaries descend from the abdomen into the pelvis in baby girls. The embryo's soft cartilage is now being replaced with real chalk bones. Your baby has eyebrows, but no eyelashes. Fine, light hair also begins to grow. "
Updates on Miss Lily:
Lily has recently started staring at my belly. I don't know if she's trying to stare the baby down, being like "this is my house, not yours" or if she's like "what the hell is going on in there?"
Here are some added cute pictures of Lily snuggling with her Dad's leg
Busy Weekend:Also we had a busy weekend, we had Siobhan's wedding shower Saturday and Andy's Confirmation on Sunday. Well, I guess the baby does not like parties at all, because I was the sickest I've been by far this weekend. I couldn't keep a damn thing down. But all and all the weekend was fun and we enjoyed spending time with family.
