Valentine's Day and 22 weeks...

We had a great Valentine's Day this year. Mike planned a whole day around French things... I woke up to French music, we went to the Cafe around the corner and had French Toast, he gave me a bottle of perfume and had ordered special French Macaroons from a bakery in NYC. They were delicious! We went to the Art Musuem in Philly, which by the way has 6 times the amount of pieces as the Louvre- isn't that amazing? We saw Monet, Renoir, Picasso, Van Gogh... etc. After that we went and had a lunch/dinner at our favorite French restaurant here, Rouge.

The evening was planned perfectly too- a night at home trying to cook French delicacies.

We made amazing deep fried brie and some homemade macaroons of our own, rose and chocolate. They were sooo good!

Our homemade macaroons are on the plate (the white are rose, we didn't have food coloring!) and the boxed macaroons are from the bakery in NYC.

Here's a baby update:

Your pregnancy: 22 weeks

See the big picture

How your baby's growing:

At 11 inches (the length of a spaghetti squash) and almost 1 pound, your baby is starting to look like a miniature newborn. His lips, eyelids, and eyebrows are becoming more distinct, and he's even developing tiny tooth buds beneath his gums. His eyes have formed, but his irises (the colored part of the eye) still lack pigment. If you could see inside your womb, you'd be able to spot the fine hair (lanugo) that covers his body and the deep wrinkles on his skin, which he'll sport until he adds a padding of fat to fill them in. Inside his belly, his pancreas — essential for the production of some important hormones — is developing steadily.
