How our baby's growing:
Your growing baby now measures about 4 inches long, crown to rump, and weighs in at about 2 1/2 ounces (about the size of an apple). She's busy moving amniotic fluid through her nose and upper respiratory tract, which helps the primitive air sacs in her lungs begin to develop. Her legs are growing longer than her arms now, and she can move all of her joints and limbs. Although her eyelids are still fused shut, she can sense light. If you shine a flashlight at your tummy, for instance, she's likely to move away from the beam. There's not much for your baby to taste at this point, but she is forming taste buds.And NO, we do not know if it is a SHE or a HE.....
We have our appointment this week so will get to hear the baby's heartbeat (which always makes me feel loads better).

I always liked the food updates--your baby is as big as a grape. She is now the size of a kiwi. LOL
Glad all is going well!
i find it funny that the blog seems to assume it's a girl! hehe.
