I think this is possibly the worst picture ever, but it was the only one I could find. At about the length of a spaghetti squash and almost 1 pound, our baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If we could see inside my womb, we would be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.In other news, I am still feeling fine. I am two weeks further along than I was with Jonah when I had to start taking two insulin shots a day, but thank the Lord, no blood sugar problems so far this time around! The back pain is becoming more manageable. I have learned what triggers it and to listen when my body says enough! Of course today I did not listen very well, as I think I overdid it carting Jonah and Noah around to get my grocery shopping done. Hopefully after a good nights rest, I will not be hobbling tomorrow.
We are still debating on baby names. We did not decide on Jonah's name until we were actually on the way to the hospital to deliver, so I guess we still have plenty of time to come up with something that we all like.

LOL. Derrick and I argued over Emily's name the whole time I was pregnant. He wanted her to be named Emily so bad, I gave in. He heard it somewhere and loved it. I wanted to name her Gracie. Her name is Emily Grayce, so we both one! Sometimes you have to look at a baby and it will come! :)
