Week 16 - Oh Baby

Ellie and I took a sibling class last Tuesday.  I was surprised by the depth of fetal development they went into.  I guess I took for granted that Ellie was just too young to explain this stuff to.  But she was genuinely interested and curious.  She sat right in front of the teacher and wanted to touch and "See" everything that was presented.  And then we toured a hospital room...she didn't really seem to care.  But maybe the experience will come back to her when she comes to visit us at the hospital. 

Every day since she asks if the baby is still in my tummy.  I answer yes.  She asks why.  I say because the baby is still growing.  It's going to be a long wait until November.

And I can stop obsessing over the hair thing...I guess it just takes awhile.  So happy to finally report that the lush hair is coming ;)  Funny how this was a "big" thing for me but I guess I was just looking for all the same, positive pregnancy things from the first time.

Lastly, Friday we received good news from the bloodwork we did over the last couple of months.  The tests were screen negative for a couple of the key chromosomal defects.  And the odds have dramatically dropped.  Feeling very blessed as this week rolls over to week 17.
