Week 13

Our appointment Friday was a short but interesting one. We did not have an ultrasound and were told we will not have one until October. That is when we will find out the sex of the baby. We did, however, get the opportunity to hear the heartbeat. For me, it was an emotional and amazing sound! It just felt good to hear it and know that everything is alright in there!

We are now almost 13 weeks along. Just in time to go back to work! I decided that I am going to tell the staff right away so I don't have to worry about people gossiping and trying to figure it out.

Here are some facts about this week:

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.
