Counting Down
With only 103 days to go, it still seems like an eternity. We still haven't picked out a name, it's been hard to find one that we both like! We need to get busy so Asher has time to learn it. Right now he just walks up to me and points to my tummy and says "Baby". It's the sweetest thing! We still haven't decided where we are going to put the new nursery either. I've thought about moving some rooms around, but we've just got too much stuff! It's a little frustrating when I have 5 bedrooms and can't manage to figure out where to put the junk so I can have another baby room. Ugh. We don't have a whole lot of time, so we better start brainstorming! I was doing some reading about this week in my pregnancy to see about how big this little guy is getting and this is what's going on with him: He is measuring 12 to 13 inches and weighs about 1.5 pounds. His skin is still thin, wrinkled, and pale, but he gets a bit plumper every day, thanks to the fat and muscle he's continually adding. Right now tiny blood vessels called capillaries are starting to develop below his skin, and these will give it a pink hue.
