Daddy blog- 3rd with baby

This Plastic baby is really starting to annoy me. Always having it around, no wonder I drive my parents nuts. And I do more than the baby. The most difficult part of this project though is always carrying it correctly, as with a real baby carrying it incorrectly can harm the child.

Daddy blog- 2nd with baby

Day to of the Plastic baby. I have come to realize just how awkward and difficult carrying the doll around can be. Plus the necessity to carry it in certain ways adds to the difficulty as your abilities and range of movement are restricted.

The Introduction of the actual doll Helps me to see how having a new born affects someones life. Carrying the weight of the child combined with its awkward shape can make this project a real challenge. At least these kids only have to be carried.

Life card:  Moms can occasionally begin to think you are gaining too much weight so they stop eating, during pregnancy.  This is understandable for moms because they are not used to the weight gain and they may feel self- conscious.  Moms should not stop eating though because through there not eating, the baby will also not eat.  If a Mom does not eat while pregnant, the baby will not get the proper nutrients needed to grow. The spinal cord and brain of the growing fetus is easily damaged and requires a daily supply of 600 to 800 mcg folic acid. If un-received the child could develop certain medical issues. Lack of calcium rich foods stop the baby from forming healthy bones and teeth.  Pregnant women who do not eat will not provide any milk, much less nutrient dense milk for the baby. A  mom also can have problems if she doesn't eat.  Anemia and cavities are just some of the health obstacles a pregnant woman will face if she stops eating while pregnant. Anemia depletes the mom of energy, oxygen and concentration as the fetus takes the mom's iron storage to survive.  Similarly, the growing bones of the baby will leech calcium from the mother's if she is not eating.

Time Line

Week 17:  Your baby, now about in its 15th week of development, measures about 4.4 to 4.8 inches from crown to rump and has doubled in weight in the last two weeks to about 3.5 ounces. Fat begins to form, helping your baby's heat production and metabolism. The lungs are beginning to exhale amniotic fluid, and the circulatory and urinary systems are working. Hair on head, eyebrows and eyelashes is filling in. 

Week 18:  Your baby measures 5 to 5.6 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 5.25 ounces. The rapid growth spurt is tapering off, but reflexes are kicking in. It can yawn, stretch and make facial expressions, even frown. Taste buds are beginning to develop and can distinguish sweet from bitter tastes. The baby will suck if its lips are stroked and it can swallow, and even get the hiccups. The retinas have become sensitive to light, so if a bright light is shined on your abdomen, baby will probably move to shield its eyes.   

Week 19:  Your baby measures about 5.2 to 6 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 7 ounces. Skin is developing and transparent, appearing red because blood vessels are visible through it. Creamy white protective coating, called vernix, begins to develop.

Week 20:  The fetus measures about 5.6 to 6.4 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 9 ounces. Your baby can hear sounds by now -- your voice, heart and your stomach growling, as well as sounds outside your body. It will cover its ears with its hands if a loud sound is made near you, and it may even become startled and "jump." The baby is moving often, too -- twisting, turning, wiggling, punching and kicking.

Week 21:  Your baby measures about 7.2 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 10.5 ounces. The fetus is steadily gaining fat to keep warm. Growth rate is slowing down but organ systems, like digestion, are continuing to mature. A waxy film, called the vernix caseosa, is being produced by your baby's oil glands and covers the skin to keep it supple in the amniotic fluid. Buds for permanent teeth are beginning to form.

Week 22:  Your baby measures about 7.6 inches and weighs about 12.3 ounces. The muscles are getting stronger every week now, and the eyelids and eyebrows are developed. Your baby's acrobatics are pretty constant, and since he responds to sound, rhythm and melody, you can try singing and talking to him. After he's born, the same sounds will soothe him.  

Week 23:  Your baby is about 8 inches from crown to rump and weighs almost 1 pound. The body is becoming proportioned more like a newborn, but skin is still wrinkled because your baby still has more weight to gain. Lanugo hair on the body sometimes turns darker. 

Week 24:  Your baby, now about in its 22nd week of development, is 8.4 inches from crown to rump and weighs about 1.2 pounds. It is starting to produce white blood cells, mostly for combating disease and infection, and may respond to your touch or sounds. If you haven't felt hiccups yet, you might feel some jerking motion now.
