Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces, and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the length of a small zucchini. Their arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of their body now. Their kidneys continue to make urine, and the hair on their scalp is sprouting. This is a crucial time for sensory development: Your baby's brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. If your baby is a girl, she has an astonishing 6 million eggs in her ovaries. They'll dwindle to fewer than two million by the time she's born.
I am doing pretty great right now. I had thought I felt the baby move last weekend, it was just a little flutter that went from one side to the other, but I definitely felt the baby move Tuesday night. I was laying in bed on my side and all of a sudden my stomach got a little tight and then it felt like something brushed up against my left side. It was a pretty big move, I don't know if he or she was doing a somersault or what. I haven't felt one that big since. It's just been little tingles here and there. Now that I am feeling them, I can't wait for Jared to be able to feel it too.
Ten more days until our ultrasound.
