2nd Trimester!

It's officially here! I'm feeling pretty good, as far as the nausea goes, but still really tired. I'm told that will go away soon, but my mom said I'll be tired for the next 18 years! She's right, I'm sure.

I have a box-shape right now more than anything, with my expanding waistline. I'm sure the little pudge will be showing up shortly.

By pregnancy week 13 your baby is taking on a whole new shape! You would now recognize your little bean as a miniature but fully formed looking baby if you were to peer into your belly with a microscope. Your baby is actually quite large by now, a whopping 3 inches long in some cases and weighs in at roughly .7 ounces. Still, this is small potatoes compared to how large you're baby will get in the upcoming months.
By 13 weeks pregnant your baby's intestines are working on maturing and your baby's tiny pancreas is working hard to produce insulin. This will help your baby regulate her blood sugar levels in the months and years following delivery. During pregnancy week 13 your baby's eyes also start to move closer to the center of your baby's head.
