Corn Cob

I just got in from Atlanta last night after a trip with my mother in law to Americasmart, thus the late "Wednesday" post.

This week's veggie is a corn cob! Apparently she is still around a foot long, about the length of a corn cob. Here is what my email said this time:

"Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts her at just over a pound. Since she's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), she cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but her body is filling out proportionally and she'll soon start to plump up. Her brain is also growing quickly now, and her taste buds are continuing to develop. Her lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help her air sacs inflate once she hits the outside world. Her skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon."

We found some beautiful baby things in Atlanta and were given a beautiful handmade dress this morning by a sweet local lady. We left it up at the store so all of the customers could see it, but it is absolutely beautiful...pictures will come soon!
