12 Weeks

This week we got to hear the heart beat on the doppler. The sweetest sound in the world! Just made my heart melt. It was funny this time because when my doctor would find the heart beat the baby started squirming all around and was getting excited.

How Far Along: turned 12 weeks on (2-4-11)

Size of baby Symank: about the size of a lime

Weight: lost about 12 pounds

Symptoms: ALL day sickness, headaches, tummy starting to harden, crazy dreams

and having trouble sleeping.

Cravings: The only thing i have been able to eat is Ramen Noodles

Movement: None yet

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response.

His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
