Week 12: Fruit of your choice
I’m guessing a lemon. The baby is 2 and a half inches long and has doubled in size over the past 3 weeks. Wow! The weight is about half an ounce so length is still the best way to measure size. All of the structures have formed and just have to grow. Baby now has fingernails and hair is starting to grow. If you could see the baby, you would be able to tell if it is a boy or a girl! We have decided not to find out what we are having so everyone will be surprised. The baby is starting to produce its own hormones. As if there weren’t enough in my body! The baby is moving but I can’t feel it just yet. It can squint, open its mouth and move its fingers and toes! I have 2 weeks left in my first trimester – I can’t believe it is going this fast. At the beginning, time seemed to move so slow! I am starting to show but not through most clothes. I did a little shopping for more shirts and found some cute ones in regular sizes that have longer waists. However, nothing beats pajamas! I gradually realized this week that the shock has worn off and I finally feel pregnant. Of course, the little bump helps as a reminder.
