How your baby's growing:
This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean.
It then went on to talk about having a split personality, which I feel like I have currently...I don't remember being that way with my last two pregnancies but I also wasn't surrounded by the two wonderful little people I already have 24/7...they seem to be bringing out the crazy in me more than normal lately. Yesterday I yelled at both kids at the top of my lungs in the kitchen because Asher decided to pour an entire pitcher of water on the floor and Ayris was trying to yell something at me to get my attention...so then I felt like a horrible mom later...yes, I do my share of yelling at the two of them when they aren't listening or are fighting with each other, etc...but that experience yesterday was just a baby exploring his surroundings and a little girl wanting her mom's attention. I can't wait until I can feel guilty about the 3rd baby who is yet unborn...had that situation happened 4 months from now when baby number 3 can pick up sounds inside the womb, he/she, might just decide they'd rather stay camped out in there versus joining the chaos on the outside!
