Hi Daddy!

For the past few weeks, Remie has really been trying to feel the baby move. Unfortunately, every time he would put his hand on my belly, the baby would stop moving. Finally, 2 nights ago, I whispered to Remie that the baby was kicking pretty hard. Remie quietly and gently put his hand on my belly and felt THUMP.... THUMP! He was so excited to feel it. I thought that because it is the second child, it wouldn't be as exciting for him since he felt Remie David move all the time in utero. But I was wrong, Remie beamed with joy the rest of the night!

Here's what baby #2 is up to nowadays:

Week Twenty Two: Taste buds develop

The fetus reacts to loud sounds.
Baby starts having a regular sleeping and waking rhythm.
The mother's movements can wake her baby.
Taste buds are forming on your baby's tongue.
The baby is 28cm long (crown to heel) and weighs over 450 grams.
The weekly weight gain has increased to around 70 grams.Your baby is about 11 inches long and weighs in at about 1 pound. The eyebrows and eyelids are fully developed, and the fingernails cover the fingertips. Sounds from a conversation are loud enough to be heard by the fetus in the uterus. If you talk, read, or sing to your baby, it's reasonable to expect him or her to be able to hear you. By this week, your waistline is definitely gone. The top of your uterus is now about 1 inch (3cm) above your bellybutton. Your enlarging abdomen is not too large and doesn't get in your way much. You're still able to bend over and to sit comfortably. Walking shouldn't be an effort. Your friends and relatives can tell you are pregnant. It would be hard to hide your condition.The baby is about 11 inches (28cm) long (crown to heel) and weighs in at about 1 pound (450g).
