The Grady Family

Well, this has been an good week so far - we are actually making lots of progress on the house, and it is beginning to feel like an actual "lived in" place. At work, i got a "cube" (fun times!) so I can actually start setting up a desk space. Its nice because I feel much more organized. And next week (Friday) we have our big ultrasound where we get to see the baby, and find out if its a girl or a boy (assuming baby cooperates).

This weekend we are heading up to Michigan on Saturday to take Deborah (Cedric's Mom) out to dinner for her birthday (which was yesterday), and to stop by and do a few things with the condo - hopefully see a few people, and drop off my Mom's birthday/mother's day present. (can you believe that I am just now doing that? This move has made me into such a slacker). And i never sent thank you cards for my birthday, and I haven't seen anyone in forever!

Oh well - on to the baby info, since this is supposed to be a "baby blog" HA. instead of just "Sarah's place to vent".

How your baby's growing:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
