How your baby's growing:Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.

I'm ready for the movements...that's SO exciting about Cal. He'll be wrapped around that little girl's finger in no time. :)
that's a lot of baby showers, but so much fun!!!
it's great that he will have cousins to play with...it really is just the BEST thing, and such a blessing!
