Zach and I both had a long week last week and some pretty crazy stuff happening. Zach was quite busy at work, but made a lot of progress on some projects he has been working on. My week started out okay but on Tuesday we found out that a three year-old baby girl was taken to heaven after being in a car accident. It was an emotional week for a lot of the employees because they were very close with her family. On Wednesday another employee found out that her father had passed away and was out for the rest of the week to spend time with her family. Thursday the girl who works with me in my class had to take her daughter to the ER where they admitted her and discovered she had a bad case of pneumonia. Needless to say they all still need prayers. On a happy note we got to share a wonderful dinner with Richard and Megan, Zach's Uncle and Aunt, on Sunday. It was so nice to spend some time with them and share family stories. They also bought a precious gift for little Baby B. We got a stuffed elephant that had Ethan and Addison's voices saying "We love you!" and a baby CD set that I cannot wait to share with Baby B:)
I cannot believe I am finally starting my second trimester! The baby is now about the size of a closed fist- not a fruit, but don't get too excited I think the produce is coming back:) The big developments this week: the baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his/her thumb! This week the baby continues to grow toward a straighter position as the neck gets longer and the head is more erect. Also this week the baby is starting to grow body hair, know as lanugo. This hair will keep the baby warm for now and looks like peach fuzz, but will most likely shed before delivery. The baby has about doubled in weight since last week and will continue to steadily gain weight.
Yes I know it is a fruit, BUT our books said a the size of a fist and we were so happy that it was not a fruit. Below is me in front of my butterfly garden and the bottom picture is of Zach's vegetable and herb garden.
