Week 24 Update and other stuff

Hayden is growing steadily, gaining about a quarter of a pound since last week, when he was just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long that makes a pretty lean figure, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon put on more baby fat. Hayden's skin is thin, translucent, and wrinkled, his brain is growing rapidly, and his taste buds are developing. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" and cells that produce surfactant, a substance that helps the air sacs inflate easily.


Next doctor appointment is on Tuesday. Should be a simple appointment.


Still waiting for an offer on the house. This is my last week at school as we are "moving" this weekend. Since the rent house is full furnished we will have another move once the house sells but this weekend we will be moving our bed (because the bed there is as hard as a rock!), kitchen stuff, clothes, etc... We are also going to try to get everything out of storage in Arlington and store it here in Pittsburg so we will not have as much to move when the house sells. So if anyone is in the Arlington area this weekend and is bored, we will be packing and moving and would love some help! :)
