State of the Baby - 22 Weeks

Here's another update on our baby boy from BabyCenter.com:

Your baby is more than 11 inches long and weighs just over a pound. His skin is red and wrinkled. Blood vessels in his lungs are developing to prepare him for breathing. He can swallow, but he normally won't pass his first stool (called meconium) until after birth. Loud noises heard often in utero — such as your dog barking or the roar of a vacuum cleaner — probably won't faze your baby when he hears them outside the womb.

It seems he is on track. At the last doctor's visit he was just over a pound and we also have the barking dog covered too!
