I know you are tired of this....

But you still have 18 more weeks so just give me a little slack. The little man is what they call a "spaghetti squash!" Who in the world gets an accurate picture in their head when you compare my baby to a spaghetti squash! I cooked spaghetti and squash tonight but I never knew the words went together. Anywho....here is a little more and a good post with some juicy updates soon (hopefully something juicy will happen til then otherwise I'll be making it up!) Enjoy.

Hello, Betsy!
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.
