This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle!
Well I can definitely say this little guy moves ALOT! I've had a few people tell me that's one thing they really miss after birth is the feeling them inside you. Luckily I haven't had any really forceful movements yet, and anytime he's kicking Jon is anxious to feel it, too.
On other notes, we are looking forward to starting the kitchen remodel as the cabinets are being delivered Monday 11-24. Unfortunately we won't be spending Thanksgiving with any family (my mom is in Germany and the only close relative here), but we'll be together and Jon wants to fry a turkey so I think I'll mash some taters and make a broccoli cheese casserole or green bean casserole.
Friday we'll head to Lincoln for the Huskers last home game vs Colorado. God I hope we don't get killed!
So it's this time of year I love being a teacher! I teach Monday and Tuesday and have meetings Wednesday. Then off for 4 days. Then only 3 weeks of school and it's Christmas Break! Yippee!!
