ABOUT BABY...
The baby will double in size the over the next 3 weeks. External genitalia are beginning to show distinguishing features. Development of the fetus into a male or female will be complete in another 3 weeks. The baby's body is now about the size of my thumb. Arms and legs have grown and fingers and toes are now complete.Fingernails appear. From crown to rump the baby is now 1 1/2 to 2 1/2 inches long. and weighs about 0.3 ounce. about the size of a large lime.
HOW AM I FEELING...
I'm almost at the end of my first trimester. Which is a huge relief. I'm now in maternity clothes. Which is ok. I'm a bigger girl anyway so, the only thing that bothers me is I look farther along than what I am. But the clothes are comfortable and that's what matters. Speaking of my weight... I've been losing about 2 pounds a week. I'm not trying, it's just happening. I have it to spare that's for sure. Since my Dr's appt (I was 5 weeks 4 days at that time) til now(11 weeks) I've lost 13 pounds. I don't see any changes at all.
HOW IS DERRICK FEELING...
I know he is very happy about the baby. He wrote me the sweetest letter the other day just telling he's glad we get to do this together and even though the baby is not here yet that is love's Gummybear so much. That's his name for the baby. He said that's what it looked like on the sonogram.
THINGS TO ASK MY DR.... nothing
THINGS TO DO THIS WEEK... no energy... but lots to do.
HINTS FOR OTHER PREGOS... hang in there! This too shall pass. lol
