Feeling great, living it up in my second trimester. Just read about the status of Baby G this week and realized she is getting big! Last time I checked she was the size of a lima bean or so, and now she is 3.5 inches long and about 1 and 1/2 oz. They compare her to the size of a lemon. When I look down at my little belly and try to picture her inside it literally amazes me. I mean what a true miracle for me to be caring yet another little one. I feel pretty darn blessed.
Just a few other tidbits:
She can now squint, frown, grimace, pee, and possibly suck her thumb. Thanks to brain impulses, her facial muscles are getting a workout as her tiny features form one expression after another. Her kidneys are producing urine, which she releases into the amniotic fluid around her — a process she'll keep up until birth. She can grasp, too, and if I were having an ultrasound now, I may even catch her sucking her thumb.
