Doctor Visit

Vanessa went to her OB appointment yesterday morning and everything is looking great for Princess! Vanessa got to hear her heartbeat which was strong and steady : ) By this week, Princess weighs two and a quarter pounds (like a Chinese cabbage) and measures 14.8 inches from the top of her head to her heels. She can blink her eyes, which now sport lashes. With her eyesight developing, she may be able to see the light that filters in through the womb. She's also developing billions of neurons in her brain and adding more body fat in preparation for life in the outside world. Princess is measuring a little bit on the small side (she is measuring at 25 weeks when she is 28 weeks) but this is no surprise because Logan always measured smaller! Vanessa is officially in her third trimester and has 8 more weeks until she is considered "full term"! The pregnancy is going by really quickly and Vanessa and Doug can't wait for their little princess to arrive! Here are some pics of what Princess looks like:
