Baby is around 4 inches long, crown to rump, she now weighs about 2 1/2 ounces. She's busy inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid, which will help develop the air sacs in her lungs. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all her joints and limbs. That means her hands are more functional, too. Sweat glands are appearing, and although her eyelids are fused shut, she can sense light. If I shine a flashlight at my tummy, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but her taste buds are beginning to form.

Her little tastebuds may be forming, but you and I know it's for Dan's cooking . . . right Margie? :-) Thank goodness we both have hubby's that can cook, cause our babies would be giant mac and cheese and fish sticks babies - ha!
Oh, and when you're done with the leaves, Jimmy and Joey have a request . . . princesses and cars!
love you!
Up to yesterday's entry, it was he/she. Today you're writing HER...something you forgot to tell us in the last 24 hours?? (wink)
Wishful thinking!!! I refer to HER a lot as HER! I already have enough male testosterone in the house!
