Week 12
Kim has now entered the 12th week. As I said in a previous post, she might actually be officially 13 weeks. The ultrasound person went with our numbers, but Monday when we go to Kim's doctor who knows.
So I will blend the 12 and 13 week descriptions, of the little tike, together. Well, she is about 3 inches long, which is about the size of a jumbo shrimp. Babycenter.com says she is starting to develop reflexes and "She’ll even squirm if you prod your abdomen, though you still won't be able to feel her movement for several weeks." I'm not sure if you want to prod your child in the womb. Imagine sitting in a dark room, made of rubber; with the walls, floor, and ceiling constantly collapsing in on you, because some giant is sticking their fingers into it. That doesn't seem like that much fun.
It is amazing how the baby takes shape in the womb. Right now everything is like jelly in there, sliding and moving around her body into their final position. For instance, her eyes are like on the side of her head slowly sliding to the center as her head grows.
I know this Babycenter.com site must be right with its stats because Kim said she was feeling heartburn at the same time as the site said she would. The site says she will be exchanging her nausea for heartburn in the coming weeks. I think Kim hates the heartburn more than the nausea, but right now she has both.
