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. Gotta pee...again? There's a triple whammy at work here. HCG (pregnancy hormone) increases blood (and urine) flow, your more-efficient kidneys rid waste quicker since you're now peeing for two, and that growing uterus is pressed right down on your bladder.
Mom's notes: This week I have been feeling really nauseas! I have also gotten a really bad sore throat, so the fact that I need to eat, but it hurts my throat too bad..has made things a little difficult haha! I can't wait for my doctors appt in 3 weeks, so I can see this little one and have it all feel more real!
