 Pregnancy Ticker

Week 12, baby is 10 weeks old

This week, the baby measures about 2.5 inches from crown to rump, and weighs between 1/3 to 1/2 oz.

Development: The baby is fully formed from top to toe! Fingers and toes have separated, and hair and nails continue to grow. The genitals begin to take on their gender characteristics. The baby can move its arms, fingers, and toes. It can smile, frown, and suck its thumb.

Today was the first day that I could not button my "tight" jeans. I used the old hair tie trick to keep the button in place and used an old tight strapless shirt to cover my jean zippers. I am definitely ready to purchase the Bella Band, which apparently allows you to continue wearing your normal pants unzipped!

  2. wow.. seriously? A 2.5 inch baby that can suck it's thumb? I'm glad you're doing this Jia. I get the feeling I am going to learn a lot more than I ever imagined. And, this way, you don't have to keep repeating it to each of us.

  3. Hi Jia, It,s Ya Ya. (Don't tell Ryan). I figure if Ryan is going to name the baby Lucky if it is a boy, I can go with Ya Ya. Can't wait. This will be fun to see how you and the baby are progressing.
