week 22

How your baby's growing:Your baby now looks like a miniature newborn, checking in at 10.9 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound. Her skin will continue to appear wrinkled until she gains enough weight to fill it out, and the fine hair (lanugo) that covers her head and body is now visible. Her lips are becoming more distinct, and the first signs of teeth are appearing as buds beneath her gum line. Her eyes are developed, though the iris (the colored part of the eye) still lacks pigment. Eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and her pancreas, essential for hormone production, is developing steadily.-Babycenter

this week i'm learning that i've taken walking and breathing at the same time for granted!! i'm running out of breath soo easily, even doing the simplest things like taking a shower. whats worse is that when its bad i'm wheazing and cant get a deep breath-like an asthma person. i know that as the baby grows there is less room for all your organs on the inside, including the lungs. so that means i'll be pretty breathy from here on out because she's only gonna get bigger!!
