Thksgvg

["Your baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean. New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. His arms have lengthened, too, and his hands are now flexed at the wrist and meet over his heart. His knee joints have formed, and his feet may be long enough to meet in front of his body. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways."]

This is the update, people. The baby's "tail is just about gone". We are very happy about this in our household, and it seems to be the only news to speak of. The weather has gone completely awry and walking into the mall today the cold wind rendered me unable to breathe for 1.5 seconds. Not the winter that I know and love, this is the time of year when things get ugly...
For Thanksgiving, we're having my sister and family over for dinner and some friends. Dinner and pie, tomorrow should be a GOOOOOD day.
Happy Thanksgiving!!!

I admit, it's progress. The only news? I need to call you. Some conversations just shouldn't be had over the comments section.

Kidney bean. Before you know it a banana... then a baseball hat or something very un-baby shaped... then maybe an iron... where do they come up with some of those? But it's so fun because all of a sudden their laying on your chest and your like... how did she ever fit in there... she's so whole. It's so cool. I'm excited to watch you grow Sarah.
