Week 22......

We've had a lot going on in the past week here at the McGowan House....but not a lot of pictures to show from it! We spent Thanksgiving with my family over at Mom and Dad's house with Mee Mie. We came back home for the Texas A&M/UT game.....and we'll just keep on going and talk about something else......We watched SO much football this past weekend, I'll be really sad when the season is over, we love football so much here in our house! John and I braved the crowds this weekend and registered at Target and Babies R Us. Then Sunday John started putting the lights on the house and I started on the inside. As soon as it is all done I'll post pictures. I've got a terrible cold now though so decorating is on the back burner while I lay on the couch with Oakley! Here's what Jay is up to....

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.

Check back for pictures later in the week of the decorated house and updated nursery pics!!
