Whew! We are slowly making it out of the first trimester! I swear its the longest, most trouble filled trimester. One more week, we can do it!
Well this week in baby news, our little sweetie has become a yummy looking medium sized LIME! Okay, maybe not yummy to many on its own, but limes and lemons are two of my many weird food cravings! Little Lime is currently a 1:1 ratio of head and body [haha] and the fingers and toes are offically unwebbed. Yay for real digits! Baby Limes skin is so thin you can see all the blood vessels inside the body! Holy smokes! But dont worry, s/he is safe inside my womb aka the oven. The beginnings of tooth buds, hair follicles and nail beds are forming this week! Our sweet lime is about 1.6-2.2inches long and weighs about a quarter of an ounce! This week baby's ears will begin their final stage of development [babies ears start from the inside out!] and will move into their rightful place on the side of little limes head. IF baby is a girl, her ovaries are now starting to form as well.
So our little darling is looking more and more human and less like a creature from the deep! (: The nasal passages are open, the tiny tot has a tongue and palate in the mouth, and even nipples!
Doctor appointment Thursday for BP check and my "real" appointment the following Tuesday!
