I Made it!!!!

Woohooo I made it to the second trimester!! Baby G is 1/3 of the way baked.
I was foolishly hoping that by some miracle of miracles my body would know exactly when I hit 12 weeks so the morning sickness would stop. The morning sickness hit me the day I marked 6 weeks so I figured it would know when I marked 12...needless to say there was no miracle. It is supposed to let up in the 2 nd trimester and to be honest I haven't had it as bad as some of my friend's so I shouldn't complain really. I should celebrate the fact that I reached a very important mile stone in this pregnancy! Yesterday for the first time someone I did not know commented on me being pregnant and ask when I was due. So this means I actually look pregnant now! Wow time is flying by! Only 6 more short months until Baby G gets his or her eviction notice! :-) Okay well what is Baby G up to at this time you might ask? Let me tell you...

Update on Baby G -

Your baby is about the size of a large chicken egg and is growing rapidly. He now weighs between 8 and 14 grams! The baby's legs are longer than his arms and his skin is red and transparent. His arms are long enough to reach his mouth and he may begin to place his thumb in his mouth. His sucking reflex, however, is not yet developed. All major components of the body are formed and now must grow and mature. From now on, your baby's development will consist primarily of organ maturity and growth and body refinement. Your baby develops reflexes and the skin is very sensitive.The brain is fully formed, and the baby can feel pain. The eyelids now cover the eyes, and will remain shut until the seventh month to protect the delicate optical nerve fibers. Unique fingerprints are now located on the tips of your baby’s fingers.
