The little one is now up to a lemon:
And here's the little blurb on what he's doing:
Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.
Hmmm... thumb sucking? in my family? no way!(insert sarcasm) The whole urine thing is grossing me out too. But I guess as long as it's all contained in the amniotic fluid...
As for me, I have energy, but my belly is no longer flat, even in the early morning when I first wake up. We have progressively told a few people - friends and coworkers, but not everyone yet. I'm sure it will be obvious soon. Apparently, to one coworker who has not been told, it's obvious I'm preggers. He's been trying to probe other people to find out what they know, all the while telling them that I'm bigger and my "hips are widening". Whatever. The joke today is that I should walk back into the building with a giant milkshake!
We are in process of adding a dishwasher to our kitchen. With a baby, there's 2 appliances I don't think we can live without - a dishwasher (must have something to sterilize bottles) and a new fridge (the little antique one barely fits enough food for the 2 of us). So we found a fancy dishwasher on Craigslist - it's nice to live in a place with lots of rich people that don't know what to do with all their money but keep throwing out good stuff so they can buy newer good stuff! We're still on the lookout for a fridge...
Jim's in San Diego this week, so my belly shot is a self-portrait
Looking good Baby! You too Sweetie!
