Apple Size

Well its been a while since the last post. We both are feeling much better and our first Christmas went extremely well. We had a great time being with our family and enjoying their company.

On another note, today we found out our baby has grown from the size of a kumquat to an apple, progress indeed! It seems the baby's air sacs in the lungs are developing, as well as its legs and arms, however the eyelids are still fused shut. This is cool though, the baby can sense light, so if you point a flashlight at the tummy, the baby will turn away....we may have to give that a shot. So the big news at my house is whether the baby is a boy or a girl and according to the baby center, this week if we went to an appointment with the doctor....they might be able to tell us the sex of the baby! I have heard stories about this, but the fact is the baby might not tell us, the picture must be clear and the baby must be turned just right. We go to the doctor next week, so we will keep you all posted.

I found this funny many websites have said recently....Daddy and mommy may be stressed at this point, due to the "what if" factor. Like I said many times before..this is our first time, we don't know what we are doing...so yeah, we are feeling some stress.
