13 Weeks Pregnant!!

We're 13 weeks and time is going by faster than I thought it would! I'm doing really good! I haven't felt sick, just a little tired. After work I've been laying on the couch reading one of my 5 pregnancy books...lol Only 2 more weeks until my next Dr. appointment and my birthday!! :)
Fetal development in pregnancy week 13: This is your final week in the first trimester and your little weed continues to grow and grow and grow. Of the three trimesters, this one has been the most important for your little one’s development. Assuming you’ve carefully adopted a healthy diet, continue to exercise and get ample rest, your little one is set up perfectly for even more growth and development in tri-two! Way to go! He or she now weighs about 1.5 ounces and is roughly 3 inches in length. Little hairs, known as lanugo, will start to cover their body this week, as their sense of taste and smell are further refined. Their cozy little amniotic sac is also increasing in size and mass as it continues to fill with more fluid. Fingerprints have formed on your baby's tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If you're having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries.
