Hi all,
Well, with Mike gone for quite a while training, I have been a busy bee! Friends and family have all taken very good care of me so that I am not alone...I have also had a lot of time to work on the room!! I wish I could send better pics, but I can't find my camera! The few pics above are from my cell which obviously don't make for very clear pictures....I promise to find my camera soon!!!! Mike is away for training with his new company, Johnson & Johnson. He is still in medical devices selilng Ethicon Endo products - don't ask any more questions about what that means, I am lucky to just remember the name of his product line! Yesterday I went to Andrea's baby shower - it was so exciting and only made me that much more ansy to bring Chase into the world! Let's just hope I have my camera then so I can put pics of him up :)....
What's going on with Chase this week: Chase is still 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, 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.
