I know, odd, right? that they compare the size of the baby with foods... first it was a blueberry, then a kumquat, then a fig, now... we've moved up to a lemon! Well, my uterus is apparently the size of a grapefruit, though still not big enough to SEE outside my body (other than that premenstural bloating I call general chubbiness!!).
I'm feeling better this week, and have been to the gym a coupla times. According to the books, this is normal. He is 3 1/2 inches long, head to "bottom" (does that mean butt or bottom of its feet??), and weighs about 1 1/2 ozs. Pretty cool!
Because his brain is sending out impulses, he is squinting, frowning, grimacing and maybe sucking its thumb! He's also starting to use his internal organs - liver, bladder, etc. Big steps!!
I know that I've been starting my count on Thursdays, so in a few days, it will be 15 weeks. More/ different news to come then.... As always, nice to talk to you all -
Love, Saud
