Prego Update

Here's what is going on in my womb, according to www.verybestbaby.com

Your baby's growth will really pick up speed over the next few weeks. By the end of this week, Baby will be about two inches from head to bottom, and still weighs about half an ounce — but she'll double in size and weight in about three weeks. To handle this growth, the blood vessels in the placenta are increasing in size and number, providing Baby with more nutrients. Other changes you can expect this week include:
• Baby's ears will move toward their final position on the sides of her head.
• Your baby's external genitalia are beginning to develop, and in a few weeks you may be able to tell whether you're having a boy or girl.
• Baby will begin to swallow and kick.
• Bones will begin to slowly solidify, although most of the skeleton is still made of flexible material.
• Nerve cells in the brain are busy connecting with each other, building pathways for future communication.
• All major organs will be fully developed.
• Spinal nerves will begin to stretch out from the spinal cord.
• Fingernails will begin to appear.
• With a special hand-held device, your doctor will be able to hear the fetus' rapid heartbeat.

So I've gained 7 pounds. I think that's right on track but I feel like my arms are fat. I'm in a wedding in May so I really need to be lifting some weights but I'd rather take a nap. Plus Long John Silvers is my new best friend. :) I'm going to be very brave and share with all of you my weight chart. If it gets too high that will be the end of my sharing. The good news is that I was 7 pounds lighter post-LRM than I was pre-LRM. Breastfeeding is the miracle diet!!!
