We are now into the 16th week! Part of which I have spent crippled, so that hasn't been so great. I'm still waiting for my physio date to come through so as soon as that starts, the better.
Our little treasure is now some 10cm long from crown to rump, roughly about the size of an avocado, and weighs about 100g. In the next three weeks they will go through a 'tremendous growth spurt' so expect to see some added size to The Bump. Our baby's head is more erect than it has been, and her eyes have moved closer to the front of her head. Her circulatory system and urinary tract are in full working order, and she's inhaling and exhaling amniotic fluid through her lungs. Amazing. Really amazing. There's actually a human the size of an avocado in my tummy! And a playful one too - apparently, they now start to play around and the umbilical cord is their new play thing. Not at all odd.
Other than the crippled thing, all is very well!
