Hey, this week is not much info but it is interesting! :)
The baby now measures about 4 inches, crown to lump! and weighs in at about 2 1/2 inches ( about the size of an apple). The baby is busy moving amniotic fluid through the nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. The legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam.
I go to the dr next Thursday. From there, I will start progesterone shots that are suppose to help prevent preterm labor. I am just praying for no side effects so I can still work. I need to work. I will have these shots from 17-34 weeks! UGH!! Wonder where they insert the needle!?!
Have a great week everyone!!!

SO...I see reference here to "her" and "she"...do we know that the baby is a she? Alex will spoil her rotten, if he does have a little sister! :)
