Week 14

Whats up with the baby you ask?

The baby is now about 12.5 cms or 4.92 inches. Your baby is now producing urine and actually urinating into the amniotic fluid. It also can practice "breathing" the amniotic fluid in and out of its lungs. Amniotic fluid is an amazing substance. It completely regenerates itself every three hours. We do know that it is partially composed of urine from the baby, but where amniotic fluid in general is made we are not sure. Modern medicine still has some surprises left.

So our baby can pee and breathe. Two staples in life. Way to go baby!

We are doing well. Charissa started back to school and has been blessed with a great team around her. She now goes to bed earlier than before but the extra sleep helps alot. I am doing good and have continued to stay on top of my project list around the house.

Life is going along as usual but the excitement of our first baby is still there. We enjoy going down the baby aisle of the store, reading magazines on parenthood, random discussions on discipline over a taco bell dinner, you know, happy future parents.

Please continue to pray for Charissa's strength and the health of our urinating baby.
