22 Weeks

We are entering the 6th month. Little E is moving more and more each day.

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound (length and weight of normal 22 week baby according to Baby Center), Little E is starting to look like a miniature newborn. I think he is bigger than the average baby as my belly is pretty large!!
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. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
