How your baby's growing?

Turn on the radio and sway to the music. With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she's more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound (about as much as a large mango), you may be able to see her squirm underneath your clothes. Blood vessels in her lungs are developing to prepare for breathing, and the sounds that your baby's increasingly keen ears pick up are preparing her for entry into the outside world. Loud noises that become familiar now — such as your dog barking or the roar of the vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze her when she hears them outside the womb.

Comments for Colleen:

I went through all my clothes this week to see what still fits. About half are now in a box in the garage awaiting a new home several months from now. Where exactly that new home will be is to be determined as my "walk-in closet" is now becoming the baby's room.
P.S. The pups have been acting very weird lately, although this is a pretty standard Hank face. It was about 30 degrees outside on this day and a pipe had burst filling the yard with water, so they couldn't be outside and they were pretty bored in addition to the general weirdness.
