What is happening with your baby?
This is the beginning of the fetal period when your baby's organs continue to grow and mature. The majority of his/her vital organs, kidneys, liver, brain, and lungs are functioning, but will continue to mature throughout the remainder of your pregnancy.
Fingernails, toenails, and peach fuzz hair will begin to become visible this week. The baby is actively kicking his/her legs.
How big is your baby?
Your baby is a little over 2 inches long, about the size of a lime, and weighs about a quarter of an ounce.
Two weeks from tomorrow we have the ultrasound, so we are just counting down to that day right now.
We spent this past weekend in Mankato, and had a lovely time relaxing and watching the dogs romp. Ben and dad did some home improvement projects while Joleen and I ran errands to prepare for the upcoming wedding. Harlan and Layla definitely wore each other out, but were slightly more subdued this time than in past visits. Har slept the entire way home, and after he got a bath, we weighed him and he currently weighs 95 pounds (and is still growing).
