Time is flying by! The baby is probably about 12 inches long, weighing in at about 1 and 1/4 lbs. The baby's tastebuds are developing but his skin is probably still wrinkled and translucent. The brain is developing very rapidly at this point and the lungs are starting to produce a substance that will help the air sacs inflate easily. I can feel him kicking pretty regularly, especially when he stomps on my bladder. We may have a future football kicker on our hands - although this would be something since neither Patrick nor I have a single athletic bone in our bodies to pass on to him.
I think Patrick and I have finally decided on some baby furniture. We looked long and hard to find something reasonably priced that was good quality that we agreed that we both liked. You can see a picture here: http://www.hartbaby.com/meadowdale_room_2.jpg
I can't wait to get the baby's room all set up!
We are counting down the days until we come home for Christmas! We will leave here next Friday, drive for awhile then spend the night, possibly in Atlanta. We'll drive the rest of the way on Saturday. We'll be home until the following Monday. We're looking forward to seeing everyone!

Oooh, I love the baby furniture you chose - cute but also masculine. With all that brain development going on I guess you have to start being careful what the baby hears now. Wouldn't want him learning anything inappropriate.
The furniture looks wonderful! You'll have to post pictures once it's done. Can't wait to see you both next week. Be careful. Drive safe.
