First, I know this is late...we have had a busy week on the farm. Second, I started a post yesterday and it got deleted...I was too frustrated to redo it!
So here is last week's update: Baby Bradbury's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (imagine an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon.
I went to the doctor last Thursday. All is going well. Baby Bradbury's heartbeat was great. My blood pressure was wonderful and I passed my glucose test! Next month we will have another ultrasound! Have a wonderful day!
