Anybody else think this baby growth-vegetable size comparison is a little corny? (Sorry...I couldn't resist.)Well whatever your opinion, Caleb's still chugging right along in the growth department, weighing in at over a pound now and about as long as a large ear of corn. He's still pretty long and lean but should start putting on some fat now as we head into the last few months. His brain development is accelerating and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are undergoing some major changes this week as well as branches of the respiratory tree are growing and the substance is being produced that will help his lungs inflate when he takes that first breath on his birthday.
My belly, meanwhile, is doing its best to accommodate this growing little boy. I still don't look "that pregnant" according to my friends, but having my mom point out that my waist is now the same circumference as my dad's was a good reminder this week that I am, in fact "that pregnant." The discomfort of having a baby rolling around on my full bladder after meals is also a great reminder of my great-with-child status.
Caleb's getting more and more active by the day! Please pray that he would continue to grow and thrive inside of me for these last few months and that my sciatic nerve pain would ease up a little as he gets even bigger. Just four months to go!
