Yesterday, I decided to get the flu shot. OUCH AND YUCK! Unfortunately, it made me very ill!!! I had to leave work early today. :-( On another note, I'm 12 weeks and 5 days today! WOOHOO!!! According to my research, here is what is going on with our little "cupcake"
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 and weighs half an ounce.

Our cupcake is as big as a lime this week!
I am overwhelmed with happiness for you both. Love you!
