22 week update

Baby James is now about 11 inches long (the length of a spaghetti squash) and weighs almost a full pound. He now looks like a miniature newborn! His pancreas is developing more fully and is producing some important hormones. James's lips, eyelids and eyebrows are becoming more distinct. He also has tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises still lack pigment.

We are only 4 months away from getting to meet our baby boy! Dave has already began working on the nursery, and we already have all our nursery decor picked out and purchased (thanks to Mom Stoner and Mom and Dad Gabriel). I have been feeling James kick more regularly, and I can't get enough of it. I haven't been sleeping well at night this week for various reasons... one being that James gets active around 3 am and I have a hard time falling back to sleep because I don't want to miss it. Dave and I are both so excited about the arrival of Baby James!
