Week 24

I put the wrong week # last week. Im sorry. But on the bright side, I only have 9 more shots!!! I am so excited. They are getting harder to bear!!!
This week "Abigail has gained about 4 ounces just since last week! She is about a foot long and her body is filling out proportionally and she will soon start to plump up! Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help her air sacs inflate once she hits the outside world. Her skin is still thin and translucent, but will start to change soon."

Stan had a phone interview on Wednesday night with a pulpit committee at a church in New York. It went well. The Lord is in control!

I had to quit working. I am having alot of sciatic problems with my back and this weight gain.

I hope all of you have had a great week!

Week 22....

" With her sense of movement well developed by now, your baby can feel you dance. And now that she is 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound, 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."

Alex felt Abigail kick for the first time tonight! He was so funny... He said, " Baby Abi kicked mommy!"

Stan had a good trip to PA. We believe the pastor just wanted to meet Stan and get to know him.

Alex goes in the morning for his Neurology checkup. They plan to do an EEG to see if there is any underlying seizure activity. Of course, we are praying for no activity at all!

Hope all of you are having a great week!
