Your baby's stretching out. From head to bottom, he measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and he weighs 1 1/2 ounces. His body's growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, his arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of his body. (His legs still have some lengthening to do.) He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. Your baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and his spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though you can't feel his tiny punches and kicks yet, your little pugilist's hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active.
Lately I have noticed I have a tad more concentration that I have in the past. No more first 1st tri fog which is awesome. However, my constipation has become a normal thing again. I am taking Metamucil capsules and trying to make sure I get as much as water as possible in. I still feel really tried by 8:30 ish though but really I think that is because I wake up at 5:30 everyday. I have 4 days until the next U/s two days in which is on the weekend. We truly hope that we get some positive results. I leaked brownish goo spotting/clotting for well over a week. I feel it has to be some of this SCH making it's way out. I am not to trying to get my hopes up too much...but my spotting is very minimal (almost all gone)...hehe I as soon as I say this..instantly it will come back. But as long as it gets out...the better I feel about it all.
I am totally craving Chipolte today but knowing Sandro I don't foresee that happening anytime soon. Sigh...
