Head to heels, baby Wilson is now measuring at about 13 1/2 inches. She weighs about a pound and a half and is beginning to exchange her long, lean look for some baby fat. Because of this weight gain, her wrinkled skin will begin to smooth out and she'll start to look more and more like a newborn. She's also starting to grow hair. Under her skin, capillaries are forming and filling with blood. By week's end, air sacs, that are also lined with capillaries, will develop in her lungs, getting them ready for that first breath.

Cranberry Festival
This weekend Andrew and I went to a Cranberry Harvest Festival in south MA close to Cape Cod. October is harvest season, so we were able to get a tour of the bogs and watch harvesting for juices and jams. Although the weather was cool and rainy, we learned a lot and had a great time!
Following the festival, we drove over to Lincoln, Rhode Island for dinner with Andrew's cousin Amber and Grandpa John.
