We're 22 weeks today!

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, baby Morgan is starting to look like a miniature newborn. Her lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and she's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath her gums. Her eyes have formed, but her 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 her body and the deep wrinkles on her skin, which she'll sport until she adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside her belly, her pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily. Only 126 days to go! That's crazy! How quickly time is passing. And what cracks me up is I have a friend due June 21st, I'm the 22nd, and another friend the 23rd. And we're all having girls! Go figure! That's awesome!!!!!!
