Our little baby is nearly an inch long -- about the size of a grape -- and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She or he is starting to look more and more human. Their essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form -- as do tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks.
I'm trying to decide whether or not I'm going to find out what we're having at 4 months or 5 months. I have to ask the hubby if he wants to find out sooner. I would do View a Miracle again. It was a great way to get the family involved.
I'm feeling much more tired this time around and I crave meat all the time. I couldn't even look at meat when I was pregnant with my first. I guess it's true that every pregnancy is different. Oh, and I'm totally showing already. I can't even zip up my pants. I have to wear scarfs all the time to work to hide my belly. :)
