We are now officially 4 months! It seems like time is going by faster now, and I know it will go even faster with school starting tomorrow. Before we know it, Baby Anglin will be here! Here's what's going on this week:
Get ready for a growth spurt! In the next few weeks, your baby will double in weight and add inches to its length. The legs are much more developed now, and the eyes and ears are moving closer to their final position on the head. The patterning of your baby's scalp has begun, though locks aren't recognizable yet. Your baby has started growing toenails, and its heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day. Right now, it's about the size of an avocado (4.5 inches long and 3.5 ounces).
In my last post, I talked about being able to feel the first flutters of movement... well, that movement has definitely become more consistent with each passing day! It seems like the baby is most active right after lunch and through the afternoon for now (at least that's when I can feel it the most), so we'll see if that changes as it gets bigger. Speaking of "it", I'm so ready to find out if Baby Anglin is a boy or a girl! I feel bad calling it "it" all the time! Hopefully we'll get a glimpse in a few weeks at our next ultrasound...
