Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, his facial muscles are getting a workout as his tiny features form one expression after another. His kidneys are producing urine, which he releases into the amniotic fluid around him — a process he'll keep up until birth. He can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb.
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. He's starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over his body. 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.

Well, I finally went shopping for some maternity clothes. I still haven't gotten my bikini yet, but I do have a favorite picked out. Most of my clothes don't quite fit anymore...The clothes are so much cuter now than when I had Jason! Now everyone has maternity: Ann Taylor, Gap, Old Navy, OH MY! I am so excited. I am trying not to get carried away, but it's really hard for a girl like me who loves to shop.
Victoria and I went to Babies 'R' Us and got her registered. All the stuff is so cool! I can't wait to find out what I'm having so I can go register. Our next appointment is April 1st and then we should have our big ultrasound soon after that. I can't wait!
