At 12 weeks pregnant: The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your babys 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 wont 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 babys 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. - Awwwww this is what I have inside of me right now! *Sniffles* Its no wonder my morning sickness and rapid body changes seem to have increased recently! Ohhhhh I am SO going to cry when I go listen to his tiny little heartbeat soon! This is all so crazy, but I love it! #HappyMom
