good bye stinking first trimester.

...sorry about skipping a week, the couch needed me. here's what you missed wee-wise...

Week Twelve

• Vocal cords begin to form
  
• The eyes begin to move closer together
  
• Ears shift to their normal place on the side of the head
• Intestines move farther in to the body
• The liver begins to function
• The pancreas begins to produce insulin
• Your baby's average size is now at a whopping length: 2.13 inches (5.4cm) and weight: 0.49 ounce (14gm)

***********************

Week Thirteen

• Your infant is about 2.91 inches (7.4cm) and weighs around 0.81 ounce (23gm) - This is about the same weight as 4 quarters.
• He/she begins to practice inhaling and exhaling movements
• Eyes and ears continue to move and develop
• Baby's neck is getting longer, and the chin no longer is resting on his chest
• The hands are becoming more functional
  
• At this point all nourishment is received from the placenta (hope the wee is enjoying the soy chicken patties)

this is a picture of i found of a 13 week fetus. this is not wee but it's still cute.

and with me:
i kicked off my first official day of the second trimester by going for a little run (~2.5 miles thanks so much which i think is not so bad considering i'm growing a person for the love of god)

then i treated myself to a mean bean tofu burrito. this did not result in as much pain as eating usually brings me.

then i took a nap with my nap satchel....

oh yes. a pretty good mostly nausea-free day........until later that night when the misery came back in full force. but hey, most of the day was good and today hasn't been too bad so far. i predict that the ick will be ending soon.
