Everything went great at my doctors appointment this morning. The baby's heartbeat was around 155-157 and I am measuring right where I should. I have an ultrasound scheduled for Monday July 16th. Hopefully I will be able to feel the baby move soon.
According to Baby Center Website, "your belly may soon be big enough to announce to the world that your expecting (DUH - way ahead of you there!!!), but the 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. (weird, last week, according to this site, the baby was the size of a lime - aren't limes bigger???) Despite the small proportions, there's a fully formed baby inside your womb now. Much more proportional than it was a few weeks ago, his head is now 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. (GREAT - he/she is drinking their own pee - wonderful) As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed, and your odds of miscarriage will drop considerably. (YEA!!!! that is good to know!!)
