Upon the pedi checking Maddy out at the hospital, she mentioned she had a slight tongue tie. But nothing horrible and nothing to do anything about unless she had trouble eating. Which she never did. It wasn’t something we told many people about mostly because it didn’t matter, and frankly I forgot about it after realizing she was eating fine.
See you could never guess she was tongue tied right? Well upon visiting the dentist the dentist mentioned they would suggest cutting it. Because she wont be able to clean her teeth as well with her tongue, and it will affect her speech. I walked out thinking… your telling me to cut my child’s tongue because she wont be able to clean her teeth. REALLY!? I blew it off after talking to Adam, but then I started researching on the internet and everything I read was that the sooner you did the easier it was for the child, and obviously the less they remember. I also asked on a message board and got mixed results on it affecting speech. I schedule an appointment with our pedi whom I love to get her opinion.
She said that without me telling her she actually would of never knew and her tongue tie is SOOO minor it is nothing to worry about. She also reassured us that her isn’t bad enough to not reach her teeth. And there have been many studies to show that kids with tongue ties learn to deal with them and it wont affect her speech. She will just learn to go with it and how to work around it. So we will NOT be doing anything about it unless it becomes a big huge issue which I don’t see happening.
I scored Maddy a toddler bed on an online facebook garage sale site. And we decided to use that and then the crib will be for baby. I was nervous as we tried the crib converted a few months ago without success. But the bed seems better. Well most nights, on the above picture she was in there babbling and talking for about 30-45 minutes. I went in to check on her after it was quiet and she had stole this hat off the dresser. I guess her head gets cold 
I hope we can be fully potty trained and perfect on the bed by the time baby comes.

- The baby measures 14 inches long and weighs over 1.7 pound.
- Baby measures 35.5cm long and weighs over 760 grams.
- The feet are 2 inches (5cm) long. Hands are very active.
- The baby’s eyes begin to open around this time.
The fetus makes breathing movements, but there is no air in the lungs yet. Hands are active and muscle coordination is such that they can get a thumb into the mouth. Thumb sucking calms the baby and strengthens the cheek and jaw muscles.
The fetal brain scan will show response to touch. Touching and playing with the baby is possible now, as they may respond to your touch through your belly wall. Brain growth continues with brain wave activity for the visual and auditory systems starting to develop. Baby is probably very active in the womb, as the most active weeks are typically between weeks 24 and 28.
