Week 15

Well student teaching is driving me crazy. I felt really good last Monday, but then I threw up after school on Tuesday. That is what I get for thinking I was getting better. The nausea isn't nearly as bad as it was, but I am still feeling really tired. I think it is combination of being overworked and not eating enough red meat.

Yesterday was my second day teaching for the Purdue Super Saturday gifted students program. They are a fun group of kids. After teaching fifth graders web design (and being genuinely amazed by their skills) I went home and took a nap. Rather than working on homework the rest of the day, I decided to spend some time with James for a change, which was nice.

Here is what is happening with the baby:
"At this stage, your fetus weighs approximately 3 1/2 ounces (99.2 grams) and measures just over 4 inches (10.2 centimeters). Hair is sprouting all over: The scalp hair pattern is developing and the body is covered with lanugo, a very fine hair, which will continue to grow until the 26th gestational week of pregnancy. The baby's bones are getting harder each day, while the skin is so thin, almost gossamer, that you can see blood vessels through it. And believe it or not, your baby may have learned to suck its little thumb. The heart is pumping about 25 quarts of blood a day, which will increase to about 300 at full-term."
