Week 12

Well, we went to the doctor yesterday for our 12 week ultrasound, everything is looking great and B2 was right on track. We got to see/hear the heartbeat again and B2 was sucking on his/her fingers. It was so cool! We got lots of pictures and a DVD so that was cool. We also found out that B2 is a __________________!!!!! I can't tell you boy/girl yet because we want to tell our family first. Now, this isn't 100% of course, but two different people looked at the u/s and said the same thing, we were told it is around 85%at this point. Stay tuned for the news!!!!!!






This weeks updates:

The most dramatic development this week: Reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over two inches long (about the size of a plum) and weighs half an ounce.
