We went for an appointment with the doctor on Monday – one of the ordinary checks to make sure all is well for the baby. We found out that the ultrasound results were completely normal, and the genetic tests that we took are also normal. This is especially good, because these tests tend to have false positives, which would make further testing necessary. We heard the heartbeat again, and when the doctor pressed against Jolene’s stomach to get the reading the baby kicked at the sensor.
The baby, she has an attitude! Excellent!
We also got a new chair and have begun some other changes to our house to better hold all of us. Shelves are planned, a new desk, removal of more furniture, and on and on… It all sounds so tiring…

They’re still talking about bananas. This time, plantain-style bananas.
Her skin is no longer translucent, and is starting to get pigmentation. Movement is becoming more coordinated, and it has a greater facility for it’s own locomotion. Some sites are talking about how they can do backflips and stuff, but that all seems far fetched.
What doesn’t seem far fetched is that the tongue is becoming more and more strong. It’s nearly fully formed. Would it surprise me if it stuck it’s tongue out? Absolutely not.
