Development update

Your baby's started growing tiny fingernails and toenails and can now kick and swallow — pretty impressive for someone the size of a walnut. Your uterus is now the size of an orange. Within the next few weeks, your featherweight baby will more than double in size, from just over an inch to nearly 3 inches. At your next prenatal appointment, you may be able to hear her heart beating with a stethoscope-like instrument called a Doppler.

I love how everything is compared to the size of fruits and things!

Nothing much really to report at the moment - morning sickness is getting much better - only 1 small event daily now. Can't be too far from being finished! I've been feeling normal most of the time too, so that helps. Most of my clothes are too small now so I am wearing only a selection of items that were always too big for me. Might have to go shopping this weekend.

Still haven't found a midwife, so if my insurance covers it I will get a private obstetrician.
