We are quickly approaching the Holidays (we've even celebrated one Christmas!). I'm hoping that after all the hustle and bustle of the holiday season we'll really be able to start directing all of our attention towards the little man. Plus, we've signed up for our parenting class through the hospital (it will start in Feb) so that will give us some more insight on the hospital where he'll be delivered. Not much has changed this week. I did receive a few maternity sweaters for Christmas that I've been "testing' out. Maybe I can even wear them next year, they are pretty comfortable!
Week 22 Stats:
Real estate within your belly is getting tight, with growing baby leaving little room for your lungs to...well...breathe. Expect the huffing and puffing to start soon. There's not much room for your belly button, either -- it'll pop out any day now.
Baby's now the size of a papaya!
Watch what you say -- baby is now able to hear outside noise from down in the womb. Studies show that baby finds gentle music and your own voice most soothing. Nipples are starting to sprout, and that little face is fully formed. And, baby's starting to settle into sleep cycles, snoozing about 12 to 14 hours a day. It shouldn't be hard to figure out when -- just pay attention to those kicks as they start and stop.
Love,
Chris, Amber & Baby Z
