Daddy letter-- Week 21-22

Dear Daddy
I have grown quiet a bit since we talked. It has been only two weeks but I am already around 11 inches long. Nearly a pound in weight (if not more already). I finally look like a miniature newborn! My lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. My eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. I know mommy is dying to find out if I will have her eyes color or yours. Just a few more months before you both find out!
Daddy, If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers my body and the deep wrinkles on my skin, which I'll sport until I add a padding of fat to fill them in. My brain is developing fast, and my brainwave patterns are now similar to a newborns. I’m developing the very beginnings of conscious thought. Scientists believe that at this stage, unborn babies already have a primitive memory, and some even think that they can dream. Certainly, I can already distinguish between your voice and mommy‘s.
The second trimester is often described as the honeymoon period, because mommy should be feeling fit and well. In fact, some women feel so good that their sex drive goes through the roof. Other women, however, don't want any hanky panky at all. Both are completely normal! Not too much longer till her hormones are back to normal. Hopefully!

Well daddy, this is it for this week.
Love you
Three
