We have been enjoying a very busy summer. I took a break from the farm chores yesterday and went shopping at IKEA and Gap Outlet. It was a great day with my sisters and friend Kelly. You gotta love those Gap Outlet prices! Enough about me...this is what is going on in Matthew's world :)
This week, Matthew weighs almost 2 pounds about the weight of a head of cauliflower and is about 14 1/2 inches long with his legs extended. He's sleeping and waking at regular intervals (already not necessarily the same intervals as mommy!), opening and closing his eyes, and perhaps even sucking his fingers. With more brain tissue developing, Matthew's brain is very active now. While his lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if he were to be born now. (I plan on keeping him safe in my belly for a few more months!) I have heard that I should chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements I may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother him, I have been enjoying these.
