Happening This Week

I know I have not been consistent with posting and I will try to be better so those of you who do read - have something to read weekly.

I have been reading the typical book "What to Expect When Your Expecting." Every week I catch up on what is happening to the baby for that week. This week, the tiny bones in Baby Howell's ears have developed allowing him/her to hear our voices. My book suggests singing to the baby now and the baby is likely to recognize my (or Braden's) voice and the songs we sing upon arrival.
Along with the bones in his/her ears, Baby Howell's backbone is mature and strong enough now to allow the baby to work on straightening his/her head and neck. Baby Howell is about 5 inches long and weighs a whopping 3 ounces.

For those of you who do not know - Braden and I have another sonogram scheduled for Monday, October 27. At that Dr.'s appointment we will find out if we are having a boy or girl (hopefully the baby cooperates with the Dr. so he can tell). We are very excited to find out what we are having. Be on the lookout for the BIG NEWS at the end of the month.
