12 weeks

From Babycenter.com:

How your baby's growing:

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.

Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (
about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.

I want one of these! According to the website they can be used for babies 6-35lbs! Hopefully, I don't have a 19lb baby and I can use it longer.


Belly at 12 weeks:


33 more days until we find out if it is a boy or girl!!!! According to the "Chinese Gender Chart" it's a girl. I know DJ is praying they are wrong.

  3. Does she still like you hold her in it? I can see kids getting older and not wanting anything to do with it! I love the design- it's kind of like the blog =)

  4. Not really - she doesnt want me to hold her much since she became Miss Mobile :P But I did use it when we traveled at 7 mos. It was easier than a stroller. I really used it the most the first 3 or 4 months when she slept alot.
