A Mango Dipped in Cheese

Only took half the pregnancy, but f.i.n.a.l.l.y a profile pic.  

A Mango Dipped in Cheese … Yes, its an odd name for this weeks blog, but that’s what our little one currently looks like, due to its growth spurt and the waxy substance that is starting to grease her/his skin.
We went for our first 3D photo session last week and it was so much fun getting a peek inside our little-buggers world.  Since Daddy is getting snatched up again by the Marine Corps he won't be here for the big 20-week U/S, so we did it a little early to make sure Daddy could see too.  As always, little-bugger (our best friends little girl named "PEEP") wanted to be stubborn and was sunngled up tight to its warm little placenta – showing us absoultly nothing.  But after the lady pulled out some “3 little piggy” moves and shook "peep's" house up, s/he finally turned over to give us a little peek… and the finger. 

Leave me alone - I'm sleeping!

My favorite of all was the big’ol smile we got – we have one happy little one in there!

Oh a picture? … "Cheese"

"Peep" is measuring right on track for head circumference but over a week ahead in length.  Not sure where these legs came from but wow, oh wow, looks like we will have a long and skinny one on the way!

HAPPENING FOR "PEEP" THIS WEEK:

- Around 10” from head to toes

- Rapid-fire growth portion is over

- Baby is fully assembled; just needs some fatting up and lengthening out

- Sensory development is exploding

- Hair on the scalp is starting to sprout

- Pigment is starting to develop in the skin

- Baby can dream, and is only awake for about 6 hours day
