13 Weeks

Well we are into wekk 13 of the prgnancy and still feeling pretty crappy. Sorry I haven't posted more for you frequent readers. We had an appointment earlier this week to hear the baby's heartbeat and it was quite the stressful experience. It took the nurse FOREVER and she still couldn't find it so after 20min she had the doctor try and he couldn't find it either so 10min later he had her firing up the OLD ultrasound machine so we could check things out. I won't ever turn down the opportunty to SEE the baby so here is a fuzzy picf what we saw and the heart rate was in the 150's so everything is AOK.

Here is what the internet has to say about week 13.

"Your belly may soon be big enough to announce to the world that you're expecting, but your baby is still tiny. In fact, he's only about 3 inches long, crown to rump — roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp — and weighs just about an ounce. Despite being so small, there's a fully formed baby inside your womb now who's much more proportional than he was a few weeks ago. In previous weeks, your baby's head dwarfed the rest of him — but now his head is only about a third the size of his body. His tiny, unique fingerprints are already in place. His kidneys and urinary tract are functional, and he's starting to urinate out the amniotic fluid he's been swallowing. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed, and your odds of miscarriage drop considerably."
