Copied from Babycenter.com... How your baby's growing:"Your baby's growing steadily, having gained about 4 ounces since last week. That puts him at just over a pound. Since he's almost a foot long (picture an ear of corn), he cuts a pretty lean figure at this point, but his body is filling out proportionally and he'll soon start to plump up. His brain is also growing quickly now, and his taste buds are continuing to develop. His lungs are developing "branches" of the respiratory "tree" as well as cells that produce surfactant, a substance that will help his air sacs inflate once he hits the outside world. His skin is still thin and translucent, but that will start to change soon."
And to think that we bought some ears of corn at Target this week for $0.10 each!! Carson and I love to eat grilled corn on the cob in the summer, especially if it has some melted spicy blue cheese butter on it!! (Carson's homemade recipe) But obviously our little ear-of-corn Charlie worth more than 10 cents, he's is priceless!!! :) We get more and more excited about our little Charlie everyday. He's a wild man this week flopping and moving around in there... guess he's a very flexible ear of corn!
