Baby's growing taste buds. The fingers and toes are now only slightly webbed, and the tail is gone. Eyelids now cover the eyes, breathing tubes extend from the throat to the branches of the developing lungs. In the brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another. My uterus is now the size of a small orange. The baby weighs less than a paper clip. The ears are developing quickly and will be the first sensory organ to work inside the womb. Eye formation is in high gear. The tip of the nose becomes visible this week. This week, the baby's primary reproductive organs will either become testes of ovaries. Even though the gender was determined at conception, the gonads took until now to become one or the other. The baby's face now has an upper lip. A tiny tongue is even growing inside the mouth.
This week Friday is our first ultrasound at 2:30. I have never looked forward to something more than getting our first glimpse of our baby!! My mom the astrologer told me a month ago that my chart shows twins. So everyone is anxious to find out! My appetite is great. No food aversions. Certain smells are over bearing. Fatigue has been awful. I feel like a zombie all day long and swear I could sleep the entire day away. I'm still able to run (but certain body parts have been making it almost too painful to go more than a mile). If I can't run, I power walk 2-3 miles a day. The dogs love this "try to be fit while pregnant" kick!
