| Caroline's new stroller from Mimi & Papaw |
The big news this week is lung development—Caroline's respiratory system is almost completely mature. She is working daily to get her tiny little lungs ready to let us know she is here and requires attention!
Little Puddin Pie's pupils now constrict and dilate and she can detect light and tell the difference between night and day! Of course this ability will miraculously disappear once she is born and starts keeping Mommy and Daddy up all night. Her little noggin is quite soft and the bones are not yet fused together. This allows the bones to overlap; making her delivery a bit easier.

Mommy went to the doctor yesterday and will continue to go weekly until Caroline arrives. All is going very well with both of our girls. The doctor said Caroline’s heart rate is 128 which is normal and very good. Our little beauty will continue to pack on the pounds gaining around ½ pound a week from here on out. This week, Caroline weighs about 4½ pounds and is around 16 inches long. With this much baby, the fluid level is maxed out which is why Caroline’s pokes and kicks are much more sharp these days.
