"Your baby is about 4 1/2 inches long and weighs just under 2 oz. Baby's skin is translucent and covered with downy hair called lanugo. While your baby is moving quite a bit you are not able to tell yet until a couple of weeks later. By this time your baby may be sucking its thumb. (How crazy is that!!) Eyes continue to move to the front of the face but are still widely spaced. Ears continue to develop externally. Bones that have already formed are hardening and ossifying (retaining calcium) rapidly. If an X-ray were done at this time, your baby's skeleton would be visible. Your baby looks more human with each passing day."
My weekly email also said "you might be too big for regular clothes but not quite ready for the tent-style maternity clothes." SO TRUE!! Most of my pants won't button. I guess I need to decide if I want to buy the bella band (elastic/spandex type band you put over your too tight pants to hold them up). I just went shopping and bought a few things--a size bigger. We'll see how long those last!! It also said not to fear--by the end of this trimester, you'll look like a true pregnant lady. We'll see how 'fabulous' I look! :-)
