Today Chicken Fry is the size of an avocado - the perfect holiday color ;) I usually think of an orange as being slightly larger than an avocado, but I guess thebump.com is talking about length, and if that's the case, Chicken Fry is a whopping .6 of an inch longer than last Friday ... keep growing little Chickie. Sometime this week I sort of nicknamed Chicken Fry "Chickie". Everything I've read lately suggests that we start talking to baby, so when it's just the two of us, Chickie it is ;) Don't worry ... I wouldn't dare call him/her that in front of the big kids ...
Chickie had another check-up on Wednesday and did so well. Perfect heartbeat, again. That's my Chicken ;) We had another round of genetic testing done and are waiting to hear the results ... probably sometime after the holidays. The doctor we saw actually lives in Glencoe and his kids (who are all grown up now), went to the school where I've been working at for the past 6 years. He told me that if my water breaks at work, feel free to give him a ring, stop by his house, and he'll personally deliver me there ... what a nice guy. Looks like Chicken Fry and I are in good hands ;)
Here is what 16 week old chickens are supposedly working on:
- She's listening to your voice, thanks to tiny bones forming in her ears.
- She's growing hair, lashes and eyebrows.
- And she's forming taste buds.
I went out to dinner last night with my mom, Boo, and Sarah. Sarah and I ordered these fab southwestern burgers with - what else - avocado of course. They were perfection, just like my little Chickie ;)
