This week TIF will be growing up to 9" in length. While her weight will not be increasing very much this week, she will still be busy growing. She will develop capillaries under her skin and air sacs in her lungs. She will not be able to breathe until she is delivered, but she will be practicing. Her nostrils will open up and her vocal cords are functioning. This is kind of a weird thought, but I don't think she will make any sounds in there...
I am feeling really good these days. I am used to moving with a big belly (it is no longer easier to get through a tight spot by turning sideways). I am sleeping through the night with minimal wake ups now that I have learned how to get comfortable. I am really watching what I eat since little TIF is developing her palate. But yes, she will like ice cream, just like her mom :) Sometimes my belly is sore from stretching out so quickly, but I am trying to stay comfortable by keeping moisturizers handy.
This morning at church, TIF was really getting into the hymns! Dancing queen! Nate even got to witness one of her big kicks. It is so incredible to be able to feel her move around! I like to picture her face from the ultrasound picture and imagine what she will be like when she is ready to meet us.
Nate and I will be in Durham, NC all this week, so the next blog post will be delayed. See you in Week 26!
