Here's what's going on this week with Whisler Baby Boy 2009:
Baby Stats:
Size: 19-20 inches
Weight: 6½ pounds
Baby Developments:
Little man needs to be careful because he just might scratch himself in the womb as his fingernails have grown over the fingertips now. Laura has already volunteered to trim them upon arrival; imagine that.
Baby's lungs continue to mature and his brain and nerve function are working better every day. The latter two will continue to mature until he becomes a teenager, at which point he'll undoubtedly know it all.
Little man weighs about 6½ pounds and is around 19 or 20 inches long—as long as a duffle bag.
What We're Doing:
This weekend was the Whisler family reunion at Windemere nestled in the Lake of the Ozarks. This annual tradition has been celebrated for decades and we thoroughly enjoy it each year. It's too bad I only see some of those folks once a year. We're looking forward to next year with this little guy. We haven't had a young one in the family for many years now. That's fine with me; I envision plenty of volunteer diaper changers.
