Daddy Letter-Week 26-27

Dear Daddy;

My nostrils are opening up, so I’ll be able to practice breathing through my nose as well as my mouth. My eyes are developing the ability to focus, although I'll only be able to see objects 6 to 8 inches away at birth. My lungs are maturing and I have an 80 percent chance of survival if I were born this week. Lengthwise, my growth has slowed down now, but I’m still gaining lots of fat. My movements are likely to be strong enough to be seen from the outside, and you may be able to make out the rough shape of a protruding foot, elbow or bottom. Isn’t cool??

Daddy, did you know that I will be born with more than 70 reflexes that develop in the womb. One of the strongest is sucking. Some babies are even born with sucking blisters on their thumbs or fingers, because the urge to latch on is so strong. Well daddy, not much to report since all I’m doing now is gaining some wait and finishing up the final touches so I can come out to meet you and mommy.

Love you
Three
