Update on the Merritt Bean

What your baby's up to:
Your babies organ systems are now all fully functioning and he has a skeleton, nerves and blood circulation. Your baby has tiny feet that are fully formed and shaped and could stand on an adult's fingernail. Because the most critical part of baby’s development is now over, most birth defects will have already set in you baby's body. The remainder of the pregnancy for your baby will be about rapid growth, organ maturation and getting ready for delivery. Your baby is actually growing so quickly now that he will start out this week being approximately 21 - 25 mm or 0.85 - 1.0 inches and by the end of the week will have doubled that and be approximately 44 - 51 mm or 1.75 - 2.0 inches and weight approximately 7 grams! Your baby's head is still about 1/2 of his body length, and will remain this way for a while.


** We will see if this is accurate as far as size goes. I'm going in for another check-up tomorow and we will get another ultrasound! Yeah!**

I get mine from PregnancyandBaby.com. I've beeng getting e-mails from them for Raegan and just added the new bean a week ago. I wanted to post on my blog the stage that MY baby was at cuz people have been curious about him/her as well, and since I was already getting them for Raegan it was just a snap to add this one on!

Oh, I understand your complete confusion! See, since Raegan is on the OUTSIDE of my body, I can easily see what she is doing that is new, how she is developing, so when I discuss Raegan and all the fun stuff she does, I'm talking about what I see in our daily life! I use the information I get from PregnancyandBaby.com just to keep up with what she should be learning at this age, that kind of thing. Since our new baby is still inside, well I can't really see his/her development, and neither can anyone else, so I thought it may be helpful to post all the information I get on him/her for those people who wonder! I thought you did it for the same reason? Yes, isn't it funny how EVERY mother, no matter what the age of her children, wants to brag about what they are doing, how they are growing? It is so nice to have this information availabe so that we can share with everyone who is curious!

Well gee, Davinie.. How else am I supposed to get the facts and information on my babies development if not from one of those information sites? Or are you the only one allowed to share that information?

Davinie Fiero said...

Hey Bean, I've been conducting my own survey this last month or so, to see what kind of friends we are if I am not the one doing all of the inviting. How much time have we spent together?

Sabrina said...

Oh good, so we are in agreement as to what kind of friends we are!! ( although I feel compelled to remind you of the 2 times early on this month where I e-mailed or called with nonsence errands I could do over to your house... and was rebuffed... misguided gal that I am)

Davinie Fiero said...

I'm sorry. I work at home 32 hours a week for a living, and wasn't available at Morgan's nap time on the day you wanted to drive over your rent check. That would have been a fun afternoon, though. I don't remember any pleasant phone conversations when you called just to invite me to do something, however. I guess you'll have to remind me of that one. Good effort though! What a great friend you are!

Sabrina said...

Yeah, I offered to drive by some of the magazines and mail you had here and you said don't bother, Steve would pick it up, which he did. I have also e-mailed you several times with friendly banter, which you have never replied to. Look, there are only so many times I'm gonna stretch my hand out to the biting puppy before I decide the risk is too high.. I mean, look what happened the first time I publically acknowledge my child on my blog? Besides, I was the one horribly wronged here... so maybe you should be the one putting forth even the tiniest bit of effort, huh? (sorry MSN and hotmail on the blink.. haven't been able to get into it for an hour.. so can only reply via blog.. I will delete all this ( as seems to be your preference) once it's done.)

Davinie Fiero said...

Nah, not to worry. I'm done.

You make me feel uncomfortable when I invite you to group functions, because you never include yourself and it always feels like I have my little sister with me, not a friend, so that's why I haven't done that lately. Other than that, I just bought another house which has kept our family very busy, and I've been working, which also keeps me busy, you aren't available on Monday's and Friday's because of Tanner... and well, haven't had time. Before we moved I see I was the only one making any effort anyway, so I don't feel like I owe YOU anything. I was just recently testing to see what kind of friend you really were to me. I guess to you, friendship is defined as a monthly email, and if I am unavaible, friendship out. Not much I can do about that. Thank you for your understanding on how busy my life is, though. It's great to know who I can count on, and who I really never could.

Sabrina said...

Yes, today has cleared up a lot for both of us, hasn't it? I see now that you expect happy positive comments from me on your blog, but you aren't inclined to do the same... in fact, at the first opportunity, you got on here and behave rather rudely, with your passive agressive comments. I see that you want ME to make all the effort to repair the friendship with your mature "test month", yet still feel no responsability for the state that friendship is in in the first place. As far as functions with the Samples and Hagans go, you have really gone out of your way to remind me and everyone around you, including them, that they are YOUR friends.. so why would you think I would act any differently? Plus, the only time I haven't been all bubbly and out there is this last Halloween gathering... and the outburst and stony silence in the car on the way there had everything to do with that.. ( although Marci and I did spend a good 15 minutes talking and giggling about pregnancy, etc. it was a fun visit with her!) So Davinie, please take some time to really think everything over. I hope some day you can actually take responsability for your actions and words, because so far you seem to want ME to apologise and grovel to YOU because of what YOU have done, both to our "friendship" and to my family ( yes.. Matt was pretty offended about the "copy" comments as well.. see, that sure makes him out to be whipped, doesn't it? If I make all the decisions so I can copy you and he just follows them... he didn't realize, nor did I, that you thought that way about us... and we both had hoped that your "apology" days later was an honest one.... which was proven a lie today.) Plus, Davinie, You are the one with the big move into the new house under your belt... and you have stated over and over that you are very busy.. as am I. So you really just wanted me to invite you to do stuff so you could say "no"?
As far as defining a friendship... yes, I think e-mails, phone calls, and personal time that is not a special outing are integral parts of a friendship.. you shouldn't only be friends when something fun is happening.. I see that you feel differently. Oh well.
