12 Weeks

So I am feeling a little bulge coming on!!!  I have started getting so energy back and now Im searching for some more motivation to get things done.  I am feeling a little overwhelmed at the moment with everything we need to do to prepare.  A friend of ours is getting referrals for in-home day care providers.  We are both nervous about his part. How do you leave your little baby with a stranger!! Deep Breaths...Deep Breaths!!! 

We go to the doctor tomorrow to hear the Baby's heart beat.  Im really happy because Anthony will get to attend the appointment as well.  Its important and I want him to experience that special moment with me.  Other than that I still havent gained any weight but I think its going to start really soon. 

The Baby Update:

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His 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.
