Week 24

Thanskgiving Day was also the beginning of Week 24! We went to my Aunt Mary Carol & Uncle Dave's house for dinner with the Crandell side. The food was great and the company was nice. Robert made a pecan pie which was a hit. Friday we went shopping and got some great deals. We also purchased a new computer and a camcorder. So once Sudsie is here we will be able to post videos on the blog so all can watch him grow. Friday night Dena & Scott (Robert's sister & brother-in-law) threw us a suprise baby shower at their house. It was a book shower so Sudsie now has lots of books and other things for his room.

Here's what BabyCenter.com has to say about this week:

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

Grow Sudsie, grow!
