Brett painted Audree & Ashlyn's room today and we got everything arranged. We put Audree's crib back together, that is where Ashlyn will sleep, and she decided she liked her crib again! For those who dont know she has been sleeping in our bedroom on her own little bed since umm..... yeah 10 months!! I know I know, but it really doesn't bother us because she isn't in our bed and I feel safe with her being right there. BUT we are trying slowly but surley to get her back in her room. We have to go and buy Audree a big girl toddler bed and order Ashlyn's letters to hang over the crib & it should be completely finished!
We had a Cmas party @ my sister in laws this past Saturday and we had loads of fun! We ate, chatted, played Cmas Bingo & Charades. Charades was pretty fun and funny!! I got a Melting Snowman... Now I know some of you are thinking how in the heck did I act out a melting snowman, umm.... it was pretty amusing at that! BUT my hubby guessed it. He ended up winning the game (even though I think he cheated, I was in the lead)! We had a Chinese Cmas after that and we got a gift card to Don Carlos and HEB, WHOO HOO!!
How your baby's growing:
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
How your life's changing:
At this point, you may find your belly becoming a hand magnet. It's perfectly okay to tell folks who touch your tummy that you'd rather they didn't. And if people are telling you that you look smaller or bigger than you should at this point, remember that each woman grows — and shows — at her own rate. What's important is that you see your practitioner for regular visits so she can make sure your baby's growth is on track.You may start to notice stretch marks on your abdomen as it expands to accommodate your growing baby. At least half of all pregnant women will develop stretch marks by the time they give birth. These small streaks of differently textured skin can range from pink to dark brown (depending on your skin color). Although they most commonly appear on your tummy, stretch marks may also show up on your buttocks, thighs, hips, and breasts. There's no proof that lotion helps prevent stretch marks, but keeping your skin moisturized may help with any itching
