Week 13

One of my highlights every week since being pregnant have been the weekly email updates I get. I look forward to reading about how big the baby is and how it's developing. It's been a joy to me to figure out whats going on inside there! :) So I'll update this every so often with the 'fun facts' of the baby's growth:

Your baby is about 3 inches long crown to rump — roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp — and weighs just about an ounce. Despite the small proportions, there's a fully formed baby inside your womb now. Much more proportional than it was a few weeks ago, his head is now only about a third the size of his body. His tiny, unique fingerprints are already in place. His kidneys and urinary tract are functional, and he's starting to urinate out the amniotic fluid he's been swallowing. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed.
