This is another big week for our magical growing baby!
Checklist for this week:
1) ears: done
2) fingernails: done
3) lungs walls: secreting “surfactant”.
Surfactant is sort of what it sounds like: a surface-activated fat whose main purpose is to assist the my baby's little lungs during inflation.
My submerged baby is still breathing in amniotic fluid, preparing and rehearsing the lungs an oxygen-filled life outside the womb.
Also by now, her beautiful face is almost fully formed, complete with eyelashes, eyebrows & hair!
According to our obstetrician, our lil' Girl is weighing a good 750g today!
