This week is what I call a 'prep' week. I still have a lot of growing to do, even though I've already grown quite a bit! So in order to grow even more, I need to do some better planning. Before it was just cells and organs and limbs and stuff. Now I have to get ready for the next month of development. I wish I had a dry erase board in here to chart all this out, but I'll have to suffice with just remembering it all in my mental "to do" list.
Blood travels through the umbilical cord with a lot of pressure now, just like a water hose. Unlike a hose though, the cord auto-untangles itself. Neat!
Now that I my own circulation system online, pumping 25 quarts of blood a day, I can concentrate on 3 of my favorite things:
- Sucking
- Swallowing
- Blinking
These are all very important things. Sucking and swallowing are good things to practice so that I can one day ingest nutrients. Blinking is good so my eyes stay moist and help junk from getting in there.
Mommy and Daddy went to Babies R Us. They picked out a lot of cool Pooh stuff for me. They don't know what sex I'll be yet, but Pooh is a good choice for either one. Of course *I* know what I am, but I'm not about to tell. Tee hee! shhhhh!
