Cinco Months!

Here's what was going on this past week: "Forget about ounces, baby. This week, we're talking a whopping weight of 1 pound and a length of nearly 8 inches, about the size of a small doll. But your doll is a living one- with developing senses, including touch, sight, hearing, and taste. What's your baby touching? He or she may grab onto the umbilical cord (there's not much else to hang onto in there) and practice the strong grip that will soon be clutching your fingers (and pulling your hair). What's your baby seeing? Though it's dark in the uterine cocoon- and even with fused eyelids- fetuses this age can perceive light and dark. If you shine a flashlight over your belly, you might feel your baby react, perhaps trying to turn away from the "bright" light. What's your baby hearing? The sounds of your voice and that of your partner, your heart beating, the whoosh-whoosh of your blood circulating through your body, those gastric gurgles produced by your stomach and intestines, the dog barking, sirens, a loud TV. And what's your baby tasting? Pretty much everything you're tasting (so pass the salad)." - WtE

So the baby is one pound but the picture looks like he should weigh a little more. Haha! I tried the flashlight thing but he didn't do anything. Maybe he was sleeping. And I know that he's been having a treat for the ears with all the gas I've been having lately. We're getting closer to picking out a name. I'm not going to say what it is yet because we haven't officially decided. My mom did say that his middle name should be "holy"......then he'd be "something something Holy Moses"!! hahaha! Our poor boy.

Well, we are officially 5 months along now. Yay! The next doctor appt. will be the first week of May. Not sure if there is anything special that will happen at that one. Just a normal check up. We will write more again next week. Hope ya'll have a great weekend! God bless you.
