Happy St. Patrick's Day to our Lil' Lucky Charm Rylan Renee!
This week daddy and I took our maternity photos. Here are a few of our favorites:
Your Baby
Your baby weighs about 3.5 pounds now, and fat
continues to accumulate under the skin. While your baby can gain as much
as a half a pound a week now until birth, this varies from baby to
baby. The lanugo (body hair) is continuing to shed, although babies born
prematurely may still have some of this at birth. Even though the lungs
are the last organ to fully develop, your baby is practicing breathing
30 to 40 percent of the time. Bones are busy hardening and preparing to
support your baby's body after birth. The adrenal glands, which produce
those important hormones called steroids, have doubled in size in the
last ten weeks. These hormones are responsible for the growth and
development of sex organs.
