It's week 22 and we have a name! You will be Rylan Renee Shanahan!
Rylan- After daddy
Renee- Aunt Noelle and Grandma Lisa's middle name
You are now weighing over a pound. My stomach is finally looking bigger. You are definitely growing.
You also took a big trip this week! We went to Nashville for Aunt Noelle's 21st birthday. We spent the weekend listening to live country bands. You kicked along to some songs. I read that you are able to hear now. I am glad we introduced you to some great music in your early days of hearing.
Your Baby
Your baby now weighs almost a pound, even if you’re
having twins. Movements are deliberate now, and with the purpose of
preparing your baby's motor skills and coordination. Even though hair is
growing on your baby's head, the colour will be white as the pigment
has not developed yet. Your baby's skin is wrinkled and is a pinkish-red
colour, but still translucent. The limbs are proportionate, but your
baby is still very thin. Even though you are past the halfway point of
pregnancy, your baby only weighs approximately one-seventh of the final
weight at birth. Your baby's brain is beginning a period of rapid growth
and development. If you’re having twins, there will be twice as many
‘why’ questions in your future.
