Week 13

Week 13 has been really good. I am feeling great at this point! I just have trouble sleeping, and my bladder won't let me sleep through the night anymore. I have had 2 dreams that it is a boy and Mark has had a dream that it's a boy, so we will see when that time comes. At my next doctor's appointment I will be 16 weeks, so I hope he will be able to tell us what we are having. Keeping my fingers crossed!

Week 13 marks a milestone for your baby-to-be. Developmentally speaking she's no longer an embryo, but a fetus. She's looking—and acting—more and more like a baby every day. She appears to be resting because her eyelids have formed and are fused together, but her arms and legs move and twitch (although you probably can't feel it … yet). She can suck her thumb, too. Your baby is about the size of a tennis ball! She's growing heavier at around .5 to .7 ounces and is getting longer at about three inches long (crown to rump).
