Inchworm weighs about 5 ounces now, and is around 5 inches long — about the size of a large onion or turnip.Babycenter.com updates:
- The umbilical cord, the baby's lifeline to the placenta, is growing stronger and thicker.
- She/He Can move its joints, and skeleton — until now, rubbery cartilage — is starting to harden into bone. A newborn's skeleton has 300 parts (a combination of bone and cartilage). As the child grows, some of these parts harden and fuse together. By the time your baby reaches adulthood, it'll have just 206 bones.
I don't have much to report. I completely blanked on getting a belly-shot for the blog with Robyn and I together. I will try to remember for this Thursday as we will be doing yoga.
I find it cute that when I'm laying in bed on my side for a bit and then roll onto my back, the baby sits way higher and is quite prominent. I like to feel it's little body when it does this...until it sinks away.
I'm getting really antsy about finding out the gender. I see the poll is 8 (girl) to 6 (boy)! Some people must really want a girl! I find that guessing by heartbeat, morning sickness, how you carry the baby, etc. for gender is nonsense. I get so many contradictions on these theories. Paul swears they will have a girl because of one of these theories... I think it's his paranoia (haha! Just kidding Paul!). They've got a week to find out, we've got two! :) Can't wait! We don't have a preference either way, it's just exciting to know!
I have a Dr appt. this Thursday and this time I'll try to record the heartbeat.

I don't think inchworm appreciates being compared to an Onion. I'm excited to find out the gender too!
Only 2 weeks, how exciting!! I've never been able to officially vote, add me to the girl count. Either would be so wonderful, of course. Belly pic soon!
