Here's what's going on this week with Whisler Baby Boy 2009:
Baby Stats:
Size: 15 inches
Weight: 2-3 pounds
Baby Developments:
The baby's eyes are partially open now and can blink. Truly superior babies can actually wink. (OK, there is no way to prove that, but it's fun to imagine, right?)
His eyes have color now, too. It may not be the color he ultimately ends up with, especially if they're light gray or blue. The eyes typically don't settle on a final hue until nine months after baby is born. So when my mother-in-law says that the baby has her eyes, I can politely inform her that they'll most likely change soon. Sorry, Jan.
Little man is downright chubby compared to a few weeks ago. He is about 15 inches long, about the length of an amusement park cinnamon-sugar-coated churro, and weighs 2 to 3 pounds.
What We're Doing:
This week is an unusual one. I've spent my entire week in Chillicothe running sound for a band. One tidbit of interesting information, that my future son would certainly be proud of, is the a capella rendition of Vanilla Ice's, "Ice Ice Baby" last night in a talent show. Absolutely amazing. I believe there is video, but I'm not sure if it will be distributed.
Next Monday, Laura has a baby appointment to test for gestational diabetes with a glucose screening test.
