15 weeks

Baby's now the size of a naval orange!
Continuing the march toward normal proportions, baby's legs now out-measure his arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably can't feel the movements just yet.

I wish the naval orange would let me enjoy hamburgers and chicken. We eat a lot of chicken in our house and if you can't keep it down, it's pretty hard!

Still have a few days off before I start my new job. I wonder if I blogged about that.
I resigned from Cochlear in the beginning of October to take a clinical audiology job so that I can be home every night. And, a 4 day work week. That's the best part! I have had a couple of weeks off in between jobs as well, that has also been nice. I haven't done anything exciting, but that's okay, it's nice to just hang out.

I have to post pictures from our NC trip, but that will have to come later.

Week 14 and vacation

Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.

I am officially on vacation until 11/1 when I start my new job at an ENT clinic in Vero Beach. I resigned from my job because I wanted a more normal job where I could be home every night and see my daughter and husband every day. :)

It's week 13!

Baby's now the size of a peach!
Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords...savor this, their nonfunctional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with his head now only one third the size of his body. And intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy -- much more convenient.

more to come later

Week 12

Baby's now the size of a plum!
As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of her systems are fully formed.
