Peanut's 22 Week Checkup

Peanut in mommy's tummy at 21 weeks

Peanut had another check up today and he's super healthy! I heard his heart beat and it's strong as ever, sounds almost like a techno drum beat. He's kicking quite often and is the most active between 2pm-4pm. Here's the scoop on his development:


"Your wee babe's perfect little pancreas (a super-duper organ that produces hormones and aids in digestion) is now making its own hormones for your baby's body and brain!
Luckily for your little womb-explorer, his new balance promotes physical dexterity, which has them actively feeling out their surroundings where skin, body parts, and the resident umbilical cord are the big sensory experiences.
Your sweet babe is sort of looking like an oversized red prune right now as more and more skin (and therefore wrinkles) are showing up each week. Not to worry, all those wrinkles are just your baby's way of planning ahead for the time when they’ll start piling on all of that irresistible baby chub."

Stay tuned for another update in three weeks!
