Well, I am now 12 1/2 weeks along. I have reached the awkward in-between stage where my regular clothes are too small and my maternity clothes are too big. Either way I just look sloppy and not very put together. People seem to stare at my mid-section with curiosity. I just want to say, 'yeah I've been hitting the donut line at church a little too hard lately'. But instead I just smile and leave them wondering. I don't really care what they think because I know what's going on!
The pictures are not mine, but they are at 12 week development. My little baby is about the size of a lime now and can move it's arms and legs. It is still too small for me too feel those new moves, but in about 3 more weeks I will definitely feel them! Our baby lime can also suck his/her thumb now and the fibers that carry pain to the brain are developed along with all the body parts and organs. I doubt they tell women this when they go in for an abortion at 12 weeks. Anyway, this is a super exciting time and I can't wait until the boys can feel the baby move! Elijah was sitting on the couch with me the other night and he looked at my belly, patted the top of it and said "wow it sure is starting to get bigger, huh mom". I laughed so hard and then gave him a big squeeze!
