Well, it's official we have made it to our first pregnancy milestone- We're in the 2nd trimester. For some of you that's not a huge deal. When you have lost a baby like I have, it's just another reassurance that maybe this pregnancy will end with the baby we've been waiting for.
ABOUT BABY:
Baby: Your fully formed fetus, now in about its 11th week of development, measures 2.6 to 3.1 inches from crown to rump and weighs between half an ounce and seven-tenths of an ounce -- about the size of a peach. The head is still disproportionately bigger than the body, but the rest of the body is starting to catch up. In fact, your baby is growing rapidly these days. The face is starting to look more human, with eyes moving closer together. Toes and fingers are clearly separate, and ankles and wrists have formed. External genitalia are becoming visible. Intestines are shifting into their proper place, too.
On another note, I also bought this doppler:
I love being able to hear my baby's heartbeat whenever I want. Yet another way I reassure myself that things are progressing. As much as I don't want to live in fear, it's hard not to go there. I'm trying my best to continue to stay positive.
Is there ever a time that the worrying ever goes away?
