The weekly email:
The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long, about the size of a lime, and weighs half an ounce.

Many Congrats to you! I voted! So there are lots of ways to find in home care and I certainly recommend it. Odd as it sounds, look on craigslist and definitely go in their homes and interview them and ask for references. Also you can contact local childcare licensing department for a list of providers within a certain zip code or area.
So excited about your wesbite! You now have a page on ours :) I am going to stalk you on here and keep track of what's going on! Congrats again, wish we could have talked more at NKOTB, but, I had to look at Jordan's chest :) Take care and good luck with everything!!!- Ali Parris
