Week 13

Well, I'm a little late posting this, but I've been busy :)  This past Saturday we had a little bit of a scare, but after a trip to the ER and an ultra-sound, we found out the baby is fine.  The doctors called the condition a subchorionic hemorrhage, which means there was a small part of the placenta that was separated from the wall of the uterus by a small bleed.  Fortunately it was a small area and it already seems to have fixed itself.  During the ultrasound we got to see our little one who was jumping around like crazy!  Baby is VERY active and has a very strong heart-beat and was measuring a full week larger than he's supposed to be!  So, long story short, my child is very large and has lots of energy already...this should be fun :)

This week the baby is supposed to be the size of a peach, but if it's still measuring a week big, it's more like  the size of a lemon, but the cutest little lemon you've ever seen!  On the ultrasound it really looked like a baby!  Bones are forming in his/her arms and legs and the intestines are moving from the umbilical cord to her tummy.  Vocal cords are also forming, and he/she is starting to suck on his/her thumb!  So cute! :)  I love you all!
