Ok I know i said i would do a couple belly pics, but i have been sick and Derek is out of town. So as soon as he's back we'll get some up here. But here is my weekly update.
How your baby's growing:
Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound.
I have been feeling baby quite often now. Lots of flutters and flippy flops. Nothing you can feel outside yet, which i can't wait for so Derek can feel. We go for our ultrasound on April 15!! So we should find out what we're having in about two weeks!! I am so excited!! Then we'll start on the nursery! Now if thi cold would go away! :)
