...we're an onion! Here's the weekly update:
Your baby weighs about 5 ounces now, and he's around 5 inches long — about the size of a large onion. The umbilical cord, his lifeline to the placenta, is growing stronger and thicker. Your baby can move his joints, and his skeleton — until now, rubbery cartilage — is starting to harden into bone. Some of it will remain cartilage for years after he's born. A newborn's skeleton has 300 parts (a combination of bone and cartilage). As your child grows, some of these parts harden and fuse together. By the time your baby reaches adulthood, he'll have just 206 bones.

Amy,
The pictures of the house are breathtaking, more beautiful in some of the magazines I've seen.
Drew is adorable and the pics of him and Nikki are priceless.
Let me know how Granddad is doing, I've joined a bible study group and he will be added to our prayers.
I'm anxious to see you pregnant or even pictures. It's hard to believe your old enough to have your own baby as I still remember the feelig of you moving around in my tummy and playing with you in the bathtub. You were very active and thankfully not under my rib cage like Mike. Just keep the little muchkin feed well and try to get some sleep. I'll send the back brace in the a.m. It really works well, per two of my friends.
Love to you and Dave, Love Mom
