Week 12

Each week seems to go by so quickly now. I love these little things that tell me whats going on. Here we are at Week 12..

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.

Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.



We have our next appt this Friday. I'm not sure what to expect but we are very excited. My nausea is starting to go away a little to where I can do some stuff around the house. I was able to make Jason breakfast on Saturday YAY! It likes to come back randomly at times so I still need to be careful. I still get tired pretty easily so I'm not doing too much. I'm looking forward to the "energy trimester" I keep hearing about it but I havent seen it yet. I feel like all I want to do is lay down which makes me even lazier then I was before lol pooor Jason. I'm ready for it haahaha anyway day now, Im sure Jason is too ;)

Last night Jason asked Matt about his plans and that we should be finding out b's gender after this appt. We are going to want to start on b's room which is his room currently. It just makes sense since his room is the sub master with its own bathroom. We can decorate the bathroom for b and make sure it stays clean in case we have guests. He's already been looking into places downtown so he shouldn't have any issues finding a place which is good. We are sooo excited to start on b's room and get all prepared for it. Even thinking that we have to wait another month or so is just kiiiiiillling me. I REALLY want to know hahaha I want to know we can decide on little b's name, what color to do the room, what kind of furniture... It's just too exciting! We are so ready for this and even though the weeks seem to go by fast it also seems like its taking forever!! LOL Im just getting anxious to find out what b will be :)

I have a dentist appt on thursday that I'm super nervous about. I need some work done and its about time but now with the baby it just makes me nervous. The Dr. gave me a list of stuff that the dentist was okay to use but I'm going to be in there for 2 1/2 hours.. I'm hoping I dont get nauseous! ooooooh I hope its going to be ok. I would put it off If I didnt really need the work. :(
What sucks even more is that, its not just one appt.. its a 2 part appt! I have another one, 2 weeks after to finish it thats also going to be about 2 1/2 hours, I need a crown :( POOR ME! Thats what I get for not going to the dentist for 10 years ahhhhhhhhhh..

Well thats my news for the week.. I will give another update after we get back from our appt on friday!!
