I did an update about mid week on the doctor’s visit so if you read that you are basically caught up for this week.
Mom to be is getting back to more of a normal schedule – headaches are fading and the body is adjusting.
There are little things from time to time. That’s to be expected, but for the most part I hope everything is starting to stabilize.
Next big one is finding out the gender which should be on May 1st.
Other than that – all is well for mom and baby.

Your Baby
Your baby’s ears are now facing forward and are completely formed so she can actually hear you talking now. You don’t need to abandon your potty mouth just yet, but you might want to start thinking about it! Other highlights this week:
This week is also the beginning of ossification. And while that sounds like some long and involved paperwork you’ll have to fill out, it’s really a fancy medical term for the hardening of your baby’s miniature bones. And that’s a good thing.
Your baby’s nerves are making more and more complex connections. Her sense of smell, taste, sight and hearing are all developing. A substance called myelin, which makes nerve connections travel faster, is now coating your baby’s nerves.
Your baby now weighs between 5 and 7 ounces and is about 5½ inches long—about the size of a pickle from the corner deli. (You’re familiar with pickles, right? Your regular accompaniment to a big bowl of ice cream?)
