"Baby Bump"


Well, everyone is starting to ask about the baby bump. Here is a photo of the belly at 13 weeks.

At this point, the baby is fully formed and measures 2.6 to 3.1 inches from crown to rump. The baby weights between half an ounce and seven-tenths of an ounce, about the size of a peach. The head is still disproportionately bigger than the body, but that is expected with my large head and the "Gigantic Nail Brain." However, the rest of the body is starting to catch up. The face is starting to look more human, with eyes moving closer together. Toes and fingers are clearly separate, and ankles and wrists have formed. External genitalia are becoming visible and intestines are shifting into their proper place.

We will find out the sex of the baby the week of September 22. Don't worry, we will let you all know as soon as we find out so you can start your shopping. :)
