I am sorry for the lack of updates. Not much has really changed here. We are trying to kiss the sickness away for good...hopefully. I have only had a few days where I have had periods of nausea.
I go back to the Doctor on Tuesday so maybe I will have some exciting to tell you then. I promise I will be begging to find out this babys sex before 20 weeks. There is no way I can wait that long. My doctor must not know what a planner I try to be. Speaking of planning, Zach and I ran into Babytime in Memphis yesterday to look at baby beds. I had an idea of how much they were going to cost but my Zach was clueless. I really wanted to give him an idea and make sure we are on the same page for styles. We should have plenty of options. :)
From Baby Center:
This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.
In other news: Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.
