21 Weeks and Less Than 4 Months to Go!


Lilly has started talking to her little sister already and is giving her kisses. We still haven't gotten anywhere with baby to be's name. She may be one of many names we are agreeable on but neither Liam or I are ready to commit to just one yet! We keep telling Abigail there is a baby in mommy's tummy and she lifts my shirt and pulls down my pants to take a look. I am sure she thinks we are absolutely nuts! LOL Lilly will tell her to give baby a kiss and she will find her dolly and kiss it.... smart girl!

Our little one will begin to fill out over the next few weeks. Fat layers form throughout baby's body. These layers will eventually keep HER warm and insulated once outside the womb. Soft hair, called lanugo, covers HER body, too. HER eyelids are still closed, making HER appear like he's sleeping, but frequent wiggles will let you know SHE's awake. Baby is frequently hiccuping and practicing HER breathing.


How Big Is Baby?
Baby-to-be weighs in at around 10.5 ounces and stretches to about 7.2 inches (crown to rump).
