A wonderful new sound enters the world this week when it comes to the development of my baby...its heartbeat. Although it is still too faint to be picked up by a stethoscope, it's visible in a sonogram as a tiny pulsing dot. From now until birth it will beat approx. 150 times per minute...twice the average adult heart rate! The baby will also TRIPLE in size this week, to about a quarter of an inch long. (Maybe that explains my sudden massive appetite!)
Symptoms: Vary by day...slightly nautious, more tired than usual...and STARVING always!
Baby bump: Not really noticing a "bump" yet, but definitely some softening/thickening (?) of the abdominal area. :0)
