I've been feeling so much better these last couple of weeks. And my appetite is in full force! My tummy rumbles at me every two hours demanding to be fed. I've started packing snacks to help me get through the work days... on top of my regular meals! But I'm careful that my snacks are healthy... it's been really easy since the only foods I have been craving lately are fruits and veggies! I just can't believe how much our bean has grown... and I've been told to "get ready for a growth spurt" so there's more growing to come!!
In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.
