Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
In Texas-24 weeksDoctor appointment on Friday!! I shouldn't even say it this time, but maybe...maybe this stubborn baby will cooperate this time. Nah, probably not. I'll update on Friday!

Oh and thanks for replacing the spinning baby. The floating one is so much better!
Baby Thomas better spread 'em! Aunt Lynn and Uncle Stephen have a shower to plan!
Um excuse...where is the belly pic?
word verification: sanest (haha)
We have already tried reasoning with the child. It has not worked thus far. No belly pic for 24 weeks:(
Yeah, the spinning baby was too...creepy.
