I suppose enough 409 and bleach in the blood stream causes mutations that carry down through the generations. The apprentice has become the master :) .

You all may be thinking, “Man, are they going to capture everything?” My answer is “Yes!” These moments are so precious and I can’t wait for those who haven’t had babies yet …you know who you are… to experience the joy in watching your child develop one little step at a time. Enjoy the footage.

I call this shot Guido. We had just gotten out of Matt and Amanda Rogers’ wedding and were getting some shakes. Mason tends to drool A LOT and just soaked his shirt. So we were in the process of changing him when I couldn’t resist taking a shot of this very Italian look he had.

Our little boy is now 5 months old. Sorry about not updating very often. We’ve been incredibly busy visiting friends and family back in Indiana and moving in to our new house. But back to Mason :) . He has been developing by leaps and bounds lately. Literally in the past 3 weeks has has learned how to grab for things, laugh, and roll over from his back to his stomach. He can’t roll back over, but that’s step 2. There will be a video of his acrobatic move a bit later.

  • Any day now! By the end of this week, he is “full-term” and can be born two weeks before or after the expected due date.
  • Meconium, a dark greenish substance, accumulates in his digestive tract and will be passed shortly after birth as his first bowel movement.
  • His skull is not solid and has a “soft spot” on the top of his head that allows his head to mold and fit through the mother’s pelvis at birth.
  • As a result, his head will be a pointed shape at birth, but will become more rounded a few days afterwards.

  • Approximate length 18 inches, weight 5 to 6 pounds.
  • The baby will be descending even lower into the pelvis; this is called “lightening” or “engagement.”
  • As the baby rests his head in the pelvic cavity, mother’s lungs and stomach are less pressured, possibly making breathing easier.
  • By this point in the pregnancy, his testes have usually completely descended.

  • As the mother’s abdomen stretches thinner, light is visible inside the womb, helping baby to develop sleep cycles, reactions, and responses to his surrounding environment.
  • As he grows and the space gets tighter inside the uterus, his foot, elbow, or other little body part may protrude from the mother’s belly.

  • Approximate length 16 to 18 inches, weight 4 to 5 pounds.
    • His arms and legs are continuing to fill out from fat accumulation. He’s dimpling at his elbows and knees and forming creases around his wrists and neck.
    • The percentage of fat on his body is 8%, compared with only 1% of his body weight at 20 weeks. At birth, his body fat will be about 15%, helping him to keep warm.

  • He is beginning to run out of space to move in the uterus and is tucked into the fetal position.
  • His movements in the womb may be less frequent as a result of cramped space, but he is growing and delivering stronger punches and kicks.
  • He will have periods of deep sleep and periods of being actively awake, much like a newborn baby.
