Today is the last day of the first trimester... WOW... The baby has grown so much and has also caused "baby's" mama so much pain already... but a pain that I would gladly take no matter how difficult. Mama is happy to go through this (well about 5 minutes after each bout of vomiting).
More about the baby: (this is what has been happening for the last seven days)
The most dramatic development this week: Reflexes. Our baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, toes will curl, eye muscles will clench, and the mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if I poke or push on my abdomen, our baby will squirm in response, although we won't be able to feel it. The intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into the abdominal cavity about now, and the kidneys will begin excreting urine into the bladder. From crown to rump, our baby-to-be is just over two inches long, (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.
