Twenty-Two Weeks

WEEK TWENTY TWO!

Our Mini's hands have grown bigger and stronger and the nerve endings in her fingers have developed her sense of touch. She's in there testing out her newfound abilities by touching her face and grabbing the umbilical cord. Other cool developments:

We're already raising a little Einstein. Our baby's brain is developing at a clip this week and will continue to do so until she's five years old!

Baby's hair is now a short, bright white crop (Billy Idol, eat your heart out!). No matter what color it will end up—red, blonde, black—all babies' hair lacks pigment at this point.

Our baby has started growing taste buds and may be able to detect strong flavors in the amniotic fluid. If you could see inside, you might catch her sticking out her tongue for a taste and then grimacing, a sign that perhaps you should chill on the chili powder.

Our baby now weighs almost a pound and measures almost 11 inches from her head to her heel. Up 'til now our baby's legs were curled tight up against her torso. This week your mini is about as long as a package of Oreos and as heavy as a large bag of tortilla chips. Who's hungry?

So that is what's happening with our little Lily this week! As for me and Luke we're keeping pretty busy! Luke is working with Scott still and is keeping busy working with that. I've slowed down with cleaning the vacation rentals but keep busy with other cleaning and thirty one. Trusting in the Lord to help us find a new place to live, yet it's a process, it's taken a lot longer than we thought it would. Praying for patience as we wait on Him. Hope you all have a blessed weekend!
