I had the weekend to myself and it was the best weekend ever while I've been here... besides of course the weekends that I spent away from here! I got a lot done... almost completely packed just have the things I'll be wearing this week. The apartment is cleaned and I also did the March of Dimes March for Babies this weekend. Walked 5 miles @ 5 months!! :) It was great!! The weekend was wonderful!! Great weather... hope it's like this when we get home. Today is a day to be less than desired... it rained all day all the way up to Greenbelt, MD and back again for the most part. Currently, it's thundering out and raining on and off. But it cleans the air and smells wonderful. The grass was also cut this weekend... I love that smell!!! Only 4 more days and Gary and I will be on our way home!!! I think he's going to be very surprised when he sees me... I've got a belly!!! Most of the time I just feel fat. :) Have one more Dr. visit tomorrow. Excited to hear the heartbeat again... it's such a relief month to month to hear that little sound... I'm sure other mothers out there can agree...

A picture I took along the route... toward the end... I think it's my favorite!!
My Baby:
Hair today, gone tomorrow? Your baby develops two kinds of hair in utero--the soft, downy body hair called lanugo, which generally falls off before or shortly after birth, and the hair on her head. Many parents are surprised (to say the least) to see their baby's hair at birth--blond couples often have black-haired offspring, dark ones are just as likely to deliver a little blond or redhead, and parents who have tight, wiry curls often produce babies with soft, loose ones. The bottom line seems to be that birth hair--or lack thereof--bears little resemblance to your child's "real" hair. The birth hair generally falls out by the time the baby is 6 months old, to be replaced by a more logical set of tresses.
Baby's Length: 7-7.5 in.
Baby's Weight: 1 lb.
Baby's Size: 1 lb. bag of coffee beans
How your baby's growing:
At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
