Limetastic!

Baby B's 12 week update: Our little baby is now about the size of a lime (2 inches long) and weighs half an ounce! I am still amazed at how quickly the baby is growing... I just cannot get over it! According to the Baby Center website, the most noticeable changes occurring now are that Baby B is developing reflexes! Baby is opening and closing fingers and toes, muscles are clinching and he/she is making sucking movements with his/her mouth. It is said that if we were to push around on my belly, Baby B would squirm in response. Now that I would love to see and feel! Baby B's intestines are starting to move into the abdominal cavity and the kidneys are starting to excrete urine into the bladder. Also, our baby is starting to "look more human" as eyes and ears are now in place. I would love to get another ultrasound picture, just to compare the changes in Baby B over the last two weeks. Who's arm could I twist to get another photo of my baby?
