November is going to be a very busy month! Ryan gets a four day weekend this week, as he gets the Marine Corp Birthday off as well as Veteran's Day. I have a huge project at work this week, The Home Depot Foundation is bringing in over 100 employees to do a couple volunteer projects on our property and of course this is happening when my boss is on vacation- so I am heading the project up... Then we have the Marine Corp Ball coming up, and good news, I finally got a dress to wear! I thought it was going to be this horrendous shopping experience, filled with tears and many expletives, but I literally found it at the first store, the first try-on. Also, it was on sale and I saved almost $70.00, boo-ya! And the week after that we are coming home for Thanksgiving!!!

How your baby's growing:
Your baby's about 15.7 inches long now, and she weighs almost 3 pounds (like a head of cabbage). A pint and a half of amniotic fluid surrounds her, but that volume will decrease as she gets bigger and takes up more room in your uterus. Her eyesight continues to develop, though it's not very keen; even after she's born, she'll keep her eyes closed for a good part of the day. When she does open them, she'll respond to changes in light but will have 20/400 vision — which means she can only make out objects a few inches from her face. (Normal adult vision is 20/20.)
