I feel like a big ball now. It seemed like my belly had a sudden growth spurt but then, I always think that way each time I look at myself in the mirror anyway, lol! So, what have I been up to this week? I think I have been emotional again. You can't get that away from a pregnant person I think. I'm normally a sensitive person already so you can just imagine how much worse I get when pregnant. My family back in the Philippines is facing a crucial problem brought by my brother and sadly, this problem involves babies. I don't even wanna get into details or my hormones will start raging. Argh! So that pretty much sum up this week's progress. I guess you can say this week is mostly about emotions because I actually spent days crying over that situation but I'm done with it and I promise myself not to cry over it no more, lol! I wanna enjoy this pregnancy and I'm doing that right now *grin*.
How my baby's growing:
Your baby now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber), from head to heel. The nerve pathways in his ears are developing, which means his response to sounds is growing more consistent. His lungs are developing now, too, as he continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when he's born and takes that first breath of air. If you're having a boy, his testicles are beginning to descend into his scrotum — a trip that will take about two to three days.
