Let's Talk Turkey

Here's a description of a baby at 22 weeks, courtesy of BabyCenter.com:

Your 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, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers her head and body is now visible. Your baby's eyes are developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks some pigment.
Her pancreas, essential for hormone production, is also developing steadily. Your baby's lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of teeth are appearing as buds beneath her gum line. You 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's born with teeth.

I'll be 23 weeks on Wednesday! To my surprise, I've been tired and sleeping in a lot recently (I haven't been able to sleep in since before college!)....so I'm enjoying it while I can and trying to store up the rest for the next four months:)
Thanksgiving was great...lots of family time all weekend long. We even got to eat leftovers on Friday night here at our house with both sets of the baby's grandparents and aunts and uncles, as well as a great-grandmother! Lots of voices in the outside world for those little, new ears to listen to! Steve and I are relishing the attention while it's still focused on us....in no time at all we'll just be overshadowed by the little bundle of joy we take along to family functions! (hahah, just kidding...we can't wait!!!!)
