13 WEEKS (a little over 3 months)

This is me really hoping that I feel better soon... actually, I was feeling fine then, but that's what I'm thinking now! Well, Baby G has graduated! I'm officially in my 2nd trimester now! That means that all the critical development has already happened and the chance of miscarriage is extremely low. And I've come to accept the fact that if you're pregnant, your belly becomes public property apparently! hehehe My plan this week is to go grocery shopping and possibly even cook again for the first time since the beginning of December! Wish me luck!

What is happening with your baby?
Up until this point, your baby’s head has been the largest part of his/her body, but that is beginning to change. Your baby’s head is now only about 1/3 of his/her total body. Unique fingerprints are now located on the tips of your baby’s fingers. The kidney and urinary tract are completely functional which allows the amniotic fluid he/she has been swallowing to be excreted. Covering your baby’s skin is a fine, soft hair called lanugo.

How big is your baby?
By your thirteenth week of pregnancy, your baby is about 3½ inches long and weighs 1¼ ounces.*
