This is a couple days shy of 13 weeks. Of course this isn't a picture of our baby but of one that is 13 weeks old. Right now, the baby is about 3 inches long and the size of a peach. The head is half the size of the body. The biggest development changes going on are that the intestines are moving from inside a cavity of the unbilical cord to the baby's abdomen (I didn't even know that the intestines were formed in the umbilical cord!!??) And also the vocal cords are forming.
We heard the hearbeat for the first time on Wednesday!! What an amazing sound. It was like I could really picture a baby inside there. I think it made it more real for Hien and I. Ali, our midwife, moved the doppler to where I could hear my heartbeat and then the baby's which was at least 2x faster than mine. Amazing!
