How far along: 13 weeks as of December 27, 2011.
Size of baby: Medium shrimp. As of this week, fingerprints have formed on Beansprout's fingertips. The veins and organs are clearly visible through his skin. His body is starting to catch up with his head, which is now just a third of his body size. Beansprout is about three inches long.
Movement: Still none that I can feel. I did purchase a fetal heart rate monitor, and we have been able to listen to Beansprout's heartbeat a couple of times. It is a little anxiety-invoking each time I use the monitor, because you have to search for the baby, but when you do find the heartbeat it's so cool to hear.
Sex of baby: We have a date to find out: February 16! Counting down!
Sleep: Fine. I'm still pretty tired, so I fall asleep easily.
What I miss: Not much this week.
Cravings: Chocolate milk. I'm definitely on a milk kick during this pregnancy.
Symptoms: Fatigue, but it is better than before.
What I'm looking forward to: Just progressing well in the pregnancy, and knowing that with each passing week, we're closer to meeting Beansprout! He needs to hang around for at least 23 more weeks, though; I do not need a repeat of my own early arrival!
