Week 12-Baby is the size of a PLUM!!!

Well, week 12 is almost over and I have been so busy, I didn't get to update my chalkboard! So I'll make sure it's updated for week 13.

This week has been great.  I finally filled the prescription for the nausea medicine.  But when I take it, it puts me to sleep within 30 minutes.  So, obviously I'm only taking it at night.  And I haven't been sick for a couple of days.  Which is very exciting!! Hopefully with the 2nd trimester starting next week, this will completely go away.

The average fetus at 12 weeks is about 2.1 inches long and .49 ounces. Now that it has pretty much all its parts, its main job is to keep on growing!! Most of the critical systems are fully formed! She's about to enter the growth and maturation stage, in which her organs and tissues will grow and develop rapidly. She's now developing her reflexes -- if you poke her body, she'll likely move. She's opening and closing her fingers and curling her toes, too. Her brain is developing fast!


So, that's all for this week!! :) I'll be sure to update the chalkboard for next week!!
