Happy Easter! We are thanking Jesus that you are healthy and growing bigger by the day! The Shanahan's were out of town for Easter. Grandma Lisa, Grandpa Dan and Aunt Noelle came to our house to celebrate. We had a really good meal and relaxed. We talked about how next year, you will be at the table with us!
Feeling lots of hiccups in there!
Your Baby
Even though your baby's bones are hardening, the
skull is still not solid, as it is made up of five fontanels (bony
plates that are not connected). This allows for your baby's head to
reduce its diameter as it passes through your birth canal. Don’t worry
though – it will return to the adorable round-shaped head afterwards.
This ‘soft spot’ will remain until up to your baby's first birthday.
Your baby's brain is developing more distinct functions, and is capable
of controlling breathing, digestive functions, and body temperature.
Your baby can now tell the difference between day and night, although
this will make no difference when your baby is hungry at all hours.
Lungs are almost completely ready for breathing on their own, and if
born now, your baby would only need a little medical support.
