12 Weeks or 3 months!!


3 months!! It's been another good week. I definitely feel better!! This is what my weekly email reported is happening to our little one:

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his/her toes will curl, his/her eye muscles will clench, and his/her mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. Hisher intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his/her abdominal cavity about now, and his/her kidneys will begin excreting urine into his/her bladder.Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His/her face looks unquestionably human: His/her eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his/her head, and his/her ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lemon) and weighs half an ounce.

Another week closer to week 15...the week we find out the gender. As much as we've gone back and forth whether to find out the gender or not, Mark's excitement to find out has definitely made me excited!!

Belly Report-same pants, no bump (well, i think i see a small bump, mark says i'm seeing things)

May God continue to bless our already loved little one!
