Oh baby

I haven't done the weekly update from babycenter for a while, so I thought I'd add that today.

This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.

In other news... the baby is moving ALOT! I'm feeling more and more when I'm up and doing something, as opposed to only feeling movements when I'm sitting and relaxing. Justin's getting better at 'catching' the baby move at night, and now you can see it move under my clothes when I'm resting. It's providing me with some distraction during meetings at work. The rest of the baby furniture hasn't arrived yet, so we'll hopefully get that soon and finish setting up the nursery.
