22-week update

Baby Claire is steadily growing! Here's the 22-week update from American Pregnancy Association:

Your baby has pretty much taken on the form of a newborn baby, but is incredibly small. Much development will continue to occur over the next 18 weeks. Her skin appears wrinkly, but this is because she has not yet gained enough weight to fill the skin out. The lips are becoming more distinct. The eyes have completely formed, but the iris (the colored portion of the eye) still lacks pigment. The eyelids and eyebrows are in place, and the pancreas is continuing to mature.

We had a great weekend. We visited my cousin and her family in Asheville. My aunt and uncle were in from Dallas, and my mom and Ron were there, too, so it was an all around special treat to have so many loved ones together.

We're borrowing my cousin Luke's crib for Claire so we went to pick it up. I can't wait to start putting her room together. So exciting!

In other exciting news, we registered Claire for Hebron Day School this morning. Oh my goodness, it all feels so real these days :)
