Day 140

Today is the 140th day of my pregnancy...only 126 days left to go. Presently the baby weighs about a pound, maybe a little over, and he is about 7.5 inches long. And this morning I think the baby was fully using every ounce of his weight to get me out of bed. He was doing some serious pounding. Day 140 means that tomorrow I will have 22 weeks behind me and be at the beginning of the 23rd week of pregnancy...I think. It is all so confusing because there are so many different ways of counting it. Tomorrow is the start of Lunar Month 6...whatever that means! It is LNMP week 23, or week 21, meaning that 21 weeks ago the zygote formed. But onto the cool stuff that happened this week...the baby now has the capability to grasp things. But with very little to hold onto he is probably just holding the umbilical cord.
