The babies are in their sixth month. They are more than 11 inches long and weigh just over a pound. At this point you’ve pretty much adjusted to the fact you’ve got moving little gymnasts inside of you, but now they’re going to kick up the party a notch because they can hear and react to sounds from the outside world. Sounds from your alarm clock, a thunder roll, or that darned car honking at you across the intersection can actually jar their little ears enough to elicit a kick or violent bout of squirming. Of course this also means that their little ears are picking up the sounds of your voice and those near you. So go ahead, sing a lullaby to your little angel—if they start kicking, it’s likely they just want you to stop… or maybe it was a kick of approval? You decide. Your babies' tiny taste buds are still growing and their bones are continuing to ossify (harden), their tiny veins are visible through their translucent yet wrinkly skin. (Think of it this way: they’ve been swimming in the equivalent of a long hot bath for the past 23 weeks, so you can’t blame them for being a little prune-like.)
My Status:
Weight gain - 13 pounds:( A little disappointing. I had been up to 14 but dropped down one. The goal is 15 by the time we see the specialist next Tuesday. I am going to have to have a big eating weekend.
Babies Room Status:
S finished up installing the lighting electrical outlets and plumbing and did a pre-inspection with the county. They said everything looks great so now he can hook everything together this weekend and get the final inspection so we can start the insulation and drywall.
