From Babycenter.com:
"Your baby's growing steadily, gaining about a quarter of a pound since last week, when she was just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long, that makes a pretty lean figure, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon put on more baby fat. Your baby's skin is thin, translucent, and wrinkled, her brain is growing rapidly, and her taste buds are developing. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" and cells that produce surfactant, a substance **that helps the air sacs inflate easily."
And now I must get back to my Marble Slab ice cream with brownie and cookie dough mix ins. (and no there isn't any raw egg in the cookie dough - I asked!!)

ReplyDeleteI bet his new little taste buds like that ice cream! I read somewhere that they swallow more when their mama eats sweet things than they do when she eats sour. Who knows if it is true but it is fun to think about!
