...grow some chubb. I am puttin on the pounds, don't worry, it's a good thing! I should have a few little baby rolls on my neck and legs and arms and tummy when you all get to finally see me. I haven't yet decided when that may be. I'll leave you in suspence and make it a suprise. I know how much Mommy and Daddy love suprises.
My immune system is mature now and I can fight my own fights. My bones are hardening, all except the skull, I want to make it easier on Mommy to get me out of here, so I'll wait to make that harder until later. The vernix, you know, the waxy stuff that covers my skin to protect it from all the liquid I am swimming in, is getting thicker around my skin. My lungs are still growing and getting better. I think they will be all good to go when I decide to get out of here and take that first breath.
Mommy will tell you that I love to sleep, but I have fun when I am awake. I like to blink, did you know that you have full control of these things you call eyelids! You can open them and close them and they come in handy when there's a bright light. My eyes are opened when I'm awake and closed when I'm asleep, ya know, just like you all do. I'm a big kid now. I am working on getting into a sleeping patern, but Mommy doesn't think I have one right now. I used to though.
I have fingernails, full sized, and toe nails too! I just hope that I don't scratch myself while I'm in here; these puppies are sharp!
Mommy keeps giving me those antibodies through her blood. This will help in the future so that her breastmilk will help me to fight infections and diseases.
I haven't told anyone if I am lying in here head down or head up yet...you'll just have to wait on that one guys!
So what are you learning this week?
