How far along: 12 weeks
Total weight gain: -37 pounds, I need to start gaining some weight....
Maternity clothes: None of my clothes fit because I've lost so much weight
Sleep: Whenever I can!
Best moment of the week: Hearing the Baby's heartbeat again
Movement: none
Gender: Unknown
Labor signs: None
Belly button in or out: In
What I miss: Regular restroom visits
What I'm looking forward to: End of morning sickness
Weekly wisdom: Fiber is your best friend
Milestones: Tomorrow starts the next trimester!!!
What's happening with the baby: The most dramatic development this week ... reflexes. Baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, toes will curl, eye muscles will clench, and the mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if I were to poke my abdomen, the baby will squirm in response, although I won't be able to feel it.
The intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into the abdominal cavity about now, and the kidneys will begin excreting urine into the bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in the baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. Baby's face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.
What's happening with you: Still loosing weight and have been experiencing more cramping from the cysts.
How are you feeling: ELATED! It is so reassuring to hear your child's heartbeat and now that I am entering the second trimester the chance of miscarried has diminished. I cannot wait to meet our little monkey in 6 months!!!!
