I surfed the 4D ultrasounds online to get an idea of what you would look like..... Even though I had practice studying your sister's ultrasound pics! You are able to squint, frown, grimace, and suck your thumb! We saw you sucking your thumb during the ultrasound! I think Daddy was a thumb sucker, also! Like father, like son already! You were measuring about 3 1/2 inches and weighed 3 oz! Your heartbeat was a steady 167!
You are starting to develop an ultra-fine, downy covering of hair, called lanugo, all over your body. Your liver starts making bile this week — a sign that it's doing its job right — and your spleen starts helping in the production of red blood cells. Though Mommy can't feel most of your tiny strong punches and kicks yet, your little hands and feet (which now measure about 1/2 inch long) are more flexible and active so she is feeling you flutter around like a butterfly. Every once in awhile she feels a big bop, which she thinks are your kicks!
On the Mommy front, she is still very tired and still throws up a few times per week! Her nausea is lasting longer than it did while pregnant with your sister! But you are worth it!!!!
Love, MiMi
