I've decided to stop trying to suck in my belly and just go with it. Let's face it, it's my third pregnancy so my ligaments aren't like they were 4 years ago. I went to a work meeting yesterday in Asheville (why I wasn't able to get my photo up yetersday) and nobody seemed to notice so maybe it's not as obvious as it feels to me but I'm sure in the next few weeks it will be very apparent to strangers. I'm already starting to feel like I need to wear looser pants, maybe not maternity clothes yet but I'm getting there. I look forward to when I have a full on baby bump, and not just the bloated, loose ligament look.
My nausea was going strong for most days this week. Yesterday and today it has been better. Other than the nausea and the belly expanding, I haven't had any other major pregnancy "symptoms" arise. My uterus is probably bigger than a grapefruit now.
Our baby's arm s and legs are longer. Hands are flexed at the wrist and meet over the heart area. They continue to extend in front of the body. Fingers are longer, and the tips are slightly enlarged where touch pads are developing. The feet are approaching the midline of the body and may be long enough to meet in front of the torso. Our baby is about 1 to 1 1/4 inches. This is close to the size of a medium green olive.
Our baby's head is more erect, and the neck is more developed. The eyelids almost cover the eyes. Up to this time, the eyes have been uncovered. External ears are evident and well formed. Your baby now moves its body and limbs.
