The little one got to experience it's 2nd football game at Penn Sate (it still needs to see it's first victory!) And the little peanut was quite a party animal this weekend - staying out until after 1:00 both nights. It was pretty exhausting....And was very nice to be able to go to bed early on Sunday!
But things have still been going pretty well! I think I've escaped the nasty morning sickness! (Thank you mom for that one :) ) I'm still fitting in all my regular clothes. I'm waiting for the morning when I go to put on my jeans and they won't fit...
How your baby's growing:
Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, or a large lime, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.
She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
This is the last week of the embryonic period. From now on, your baby will be called a fetus. Your baby's fingernails appear this week! External genitalia are beginning to show distinguishing features and the development of male or female will be complete in three weeks. The placenta's blood vessels increase to provide your baby with the nutrients and oxygen he needs for continued growth. Your baby's ears are gradually moving from the neck towards the sides of his head. Inside of your baby's abdomen, the intestines are developing. Because the intestines are so large, some of them project into the umbilical cord and they will return to the abdomen within the next week or two.
