22 Weeks ~ April 25th

After we got back from Florida I started really feeling the baby kick on a regular basis.  It is the most amazing and reassuring feeling.  It's all starting to feel real and I can't believe it!  It still feels like I'm in the most incredible dream.  I wake up everyday so thankful for this miracle inside me.

Here is what BabyCenter says about the baby:

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
