I know I haven't posted lately. To tell you the truth, I've been feeling a little preoccupied. Since the amnio, I've been trying to distract myself and not think about things until test results are in.
Well, they're in, and all is fine. We're still waiting for some bloodwork, but the big tests--the ones that detect chromosomal abnormalities--are normal. What sweet relief. I'm very grateful to know that Spike is doing well.
Oh, and the amnio confirmed: Spike is a girl.
Here's this week's update from www.babycenter.com:
How your baby's growing: Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and he measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the length of a small zucchini. His arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of his body now. His kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair on his scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. If your baby is a girl, she has an astonishing six million eggs in her ovaries. They'll dwindle to fewer than two million by the time she's born.
