Weekly Wisdom: Don’t move during a snow storm

Best Moment This Week: Seeing the baby’s little heart flickering on the screen. The lady scared us to death she spent at least 10 min trying to confirm that there was only one baby in there. I’m not sure who was more nauseated this morning (except mine was morning sickness). RJ had the funniest blank stare the whole time. She really thinks it was just the cord we were seeing but I guess we won’t know for sure until the gender scan because I’m only allowed two ultrasounds with this insurance. I didn’t cry like I thought I would but that whoosh whoosh whoosh sound made me want to melt into a puddle. As soon as I find my scanner I will upload the picture. I forgot to mention we measured right on track so we did conceive a Christmas Eve miracle like I thought and the heartbeat was 155 bpm which was good too!

Baby's now the size of a blueberry!

Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about one hundred new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.
