Our healthy little one

The ultrasound tech called earlier this week with some very good news. The early detection screening came back negative for chromosomal diseases such as Down syndrome, Trisomy 18 and 13. It gives us such piece of mind to know that our little baby is developing normally!

Speaking of developing, I'll be 13 weeks tomorrow, so I thought I would include this update.

Week 13: Farewell First Trimester...

Fetal development in pregnancy week 13:fetus in third month

This is your final week in the first trimester and your little weed continues to grow and grow and grow. Of the three trimesters, this one has been the most important for your little one’s development. Assuming you’ve carefully adopted a healthy diet, continue to exercise and get ample rest, your little one is set up perfectly for even more growth and development in tri-two! Way to go! He or she now weighs about 2.5 ounces and is roughly 3.5 inches in length. Little hairs, known as lanugo, will start to cover their body this week, as their sense of taste and smell are further refined. Their cozy little amniotic sac is also increasing in size and mass as it continues to fill with more fluid.
