13 weeks... 184 days to go!

A few days late... but I'm finally getting it up... My Baby At the end of this week, your baby officially enters the second trimester of development. Although only 3 inches from crown to rump and weighing just half an ounce, she looks, well, human! Her eyes have moved from the sides of her head to the front, and her ears are in their normal position. She's also got reflexes--if you prod her, she'll squirm (although you still won't feel it), and her hands and feet respond to stimuli by closing or clenching. Baby's Size: Egg Baby's Length: 2.5-3 in. Baby's Weight: .50-1 oz. How your baby's growing: Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries. Your baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce. I had my appointment with the nurse on Wednesday Feb. 18th... it was all so overwhelming... so wish I was back home for all of this. I also had blood drawn for a few tests. I have an appointment with a doctor on Tuesday Feb. 24th. First I'll be driving up to Salisbury, MD to get a sonogram / ultrasound @9 and then I'll meet with the doctor @ 11 to discuss the test results and ultrasound... this is back down in Princess Anne, MD. (Salisbury is about an hour north of here and Princess Anne is about 45 minutes... or so...) I'm excited for the ultrasound... can't wait to hear the baby's heart beat. I'm going to try and take a short video with my camera and I hope it turns out. You'll know next week if it does. :)
