16 Weeks

Watch what you say... tiny bones forming in baby's ears mean the little one can now pick up your voice. Eyebrows, lashes and hair are starting to fill in, and taste buds are forming. And, if you're interested, an ultrasound might be able to determine gender.

What I am looking forward to: Finding out the sex of the baby, even though I have about 4 weeks left
Weekly Wisdom: Just take people with a grain of salt. You will get asked the same question over and over again, and you have to try your hardest not to get overly annoyed!

15 Weeks

Continuing the march towards normal proportions, baby's legs now outmeasure the arms. And, finally, all four limbs have functional joints. Your fetus is squirming and wiggling like crazy down in the womb, though you probably still can't feel the movements.

14 Weeks

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.

13 Weeks - Peach

Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)

No Name

I really want to update my blog with all the things I want for little baby C. We/I have been looking like crazy for items, like nursery bedding, furniture, strollers, bottles, high chairs, pack and plays. By good there are so many things and everytime i look its like I forget something completely. I think I will be glad when we find out the sex and I can actually start registering for things. That way it will make my list shorter and I can worry about the things I am missing.

Man though looking into all of this stuff makes me so nervous. Everything is so expensive! I just am not sure how we are going to do it. I am hoping I have fabulous friends and family that will buy stuff off my registry to take the stress away from me and chad buying it all! My parents are so awesome, they said they would be buying the crib. Yay. We haven't discussed anything with Chad's parents but I'm sure they will do something equally awesome.

I will hopefully be posting pics of things we like so far!

12 Weeks
