Baby is the size of a lemon this week. She's getting longer and her neck is more distinct. Her legs and arms are lengthening to a more proportionate size. Her liver is producing bile, her kidneys are producing urine, and her spleen is helping make red blood cells.
She's may have hair on her head and eyebrows but she most likely has a layer of hair all over her body which she will shed before birth. Currently, it's there to keep her warm. Baby can squint and grimace and frown. It's all neural impulse right now, has nothing to do with baby's actual emotions.
Baby is kicking and punching and sucking her thumb. Although in a first pregnancy you don't usually feel baby move for several more weeks, it's possible to feel baby early. As a matter of fact, I was standing at work, getting ready to clock out when I felt a wave low in my gut. It honestly felt like she rolled over. It was one of the coolest feelings in the world. I can't wait to feel her move more!
This was from last night, technically 13 weeks, 6 days. I still haven't gained any weight. I'm bouncing around a bit but mostly losing.
182 days to go!
