It's the last week of my first trimester (wk 13). Baby B is nearly 3 inches long and weighs almost an ounce. Fingerprints are now present on the tips of those tiny fingers, and every vein and organ can clearly be seen through the still very transparent skin. Also, Baby B's body is now starting to catch up with the size of his/her head.
Week 13 is off to a spooky start. Last night I had a nightmare. In this scary dream, I was stuck in a metal box. There were no windows or slats to peer out of and I could not stretch out my arms or legs. The box was very cramped. Then, for a brief moment I had X-ray vision. I could see into the room. There were lots of metal boxes, and each box had a person trapped inside. The box in front of me moved forward (kind of like on a conveyor belt). When the box came to a stop, there was a faceless man standing over it. The man poured some kind of liquid, either alcohol or lighter fluid, over the box and then set the box on fire. I started to panic. Next, my box moved forward and the faceless man was standing over me. I could hear him pour liquid over the box. I started screaming "my baby, my baby!" The box ignited. In my nightmare, I could actually feel the intensity of the fire/heat. I couldn't get out and kept screaming "my baby!" When I woke up, I was covered in sweat. Creepy.
Had fun this past weekend. Saturday night was game night at a friend's house. Pizza, chips, brownies (the most moist/delicious brownies I have ever eaten in my life!). Apples to Apples and Buzz Word. Thanks Zach and Kaylee for hosting a fun evening! (Too bad I forgot to bring my camera!)
That's all for now. Will try to post new belly pics soon!
