Ok... I know!
The last couple of weeks have slipped. I had a lot going on including finals and graduation! I am finally DONE!!!!! So, I am playing catch up. I hope you enjoy reading just the same.
The week of April 27th, 2009
This week's big developments: Your baby can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck his thumb! Thanks to brain impulses, facial muscles are getting a workout as tiny features form one expression after another. Baby's kidneys are producing urine, which gets released into the amniotic fluid around the baby — a process that will keep up until birth. Bab
y can grasp, too, and if you're having an ultrasound now, you may even catch him sucking his thumb. In other news: Our baby's stretching out!!! From head to bottom, baby measures 3 1/2 inches — about the size of a lemon — and weighs 1 1/2 ounces. Its body is growing faster than his head, which now sits upon a more distinct neck. By the end of this week, baby's arms will have grown to a length that's in proportion to the rest of the body. (BJ's legs still have some lengthening to do.) BJ is starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over its tiny little body. Our baby's liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and the spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though I can't feel BJ's tiny punches and kicks yet, little hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active. (babycenter.com)

My tailbone is still agitating from time to time (mostly everyday when I sit for a long time). I know it's still early in the pregnancy but I believe I felt the baby move or something. It felt almost like the tiniest of tickles on the inside of my belly. It happens mostly at night when I'm lying very still, and only a few times then nothing. I don't know if it was BJ but it sure was nothing I've ever felt before and for now I'm going to say it was BJ!!
