Lil Mac: 12 Weeks


Your baby's crown-to-rump length is almost 2.5 inches and she now weighs between 8 and 14 grams! In just three weeks, your baby's size has more than doubled and begins to look a lot more human. Even though you won't be able to feel your baby moving at this time, you can stimulate him and he will squint, open his mouth and move his fingers or toes. Because most of the structures are already formed at this point, few will be formed after this time. The structures will continue to grow and develop throughout the remainder of your pregnancy. Your baby's skeletal system now has centers if bone formation in most of the bones. The digestive system is capable of making contractions that push food through the bowels and it is also able to absorb sugar. The pituitary gland beginning to make hormones.
Here's 12 week belly bump:


I've had severe allergy/cold problems this week and at night cannot catch my breath when I lay down. I ended up taking a breathing treatment last night and it did wonders! It was instant relief. I'm so ready to get some rain to knock some of this pollen out of the air!!
