What "They" Say About Our Baby's Development: Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 inches long and it weighs almost 7 ounces. It's busy flexing its arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. Its blood vessels are visible through its thin skin, and its ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from its head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around its nerves, a process that will continue for a year after it'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.
Weekly Food Comparison: A bell pepper...yum, a favorite craving of mine since the beginning of this pregnancy!
The Good: Feeling the baby moving now...amazing, and felt two strong kicks last week!
The Weird: Stuffy nose all the time
Currently Craving/Avoiding:
Avoiding: String cheese (I don't know if I'll ever like this again), sugary foods
Craving: Carbs, spicy foods (chips and salsa!)
