Good News

So about 3 weeks ago Ricas and I found out that we are expecting our first child at the end of this year (hence the name of the blog)! We, well at least I am, super excited and look forward to the next few months of being pregnant; Ricas is excited (just not super excited) and nervous all at the same time! Maybe we'll have to convince him to start his P.O.V. blog about this pregnancy?! At any rate, I'm new to the blogging world, but hopefully I won't be a stranger... I hope to keep you all updated at least once a month (or when any other "big" things happen as we get closer to extending our family).

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. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.
