Week 22!

Our baby now looks like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9 inches and almost 1 pound! Her skin will continue to appear wrinkled until she gains enough weight to fill it out. Our baby's eyes are developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks some pigment. Our baby's lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of teeth are appearing as buds beneath her gum line. We won't actually see her first tooth until she's around 4 to 7 months old, unless she's one of the rare babies who are born with teeth.
