Week 12: Plum

I am 12 weeks along... he/she is now an adorable little plum! Sorry Daniel, I hope you can still eat plums after this! :)
More baby info about week 12: "As you move into the second trimester, baby shifts into the growth and maturation stage. After weeks in the critical development stage, almost all of baby's systems are fully formed. The most dramatic development this week: Reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, toes will curl, eye muscles will clench, and the mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His/her intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his/her abdominal cavity about now, and the kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder."
