Shamelessly stolen from one of the pregnancy websites I visit:

This week you’re carrying about 10.5 inches and 10.5 ounces of solid baby-miracle-goodness! Their little delicate bones continue to ossify and toughen while their itsy bitsy finger and toe pads are finishing up. Your little monkey now has teeth buds, although they’re hidden beneath the gum line. And finally! Their limbs have reached their relative proportions—no more alien baby! Their cute pink lips are more defined, and might be helping out in a bit of prenatal thumb-sucking. What’s more, eyelashes and eyebrows are also visible.

At this point, your little one really looks like a miniature baby—and we do mean miniature as your little swimmer currently weighs a mere eighth of their final birth weight. With half the pregnancy behind you, the most significant gains are yet to come!

This pregnancy seems to be flying by. I’m feeling the baby kicking more frequently and I really thought this week that the ‘morning’ sickness was over. I was wrong. I made it from Sunday to today with no issues, but dinner tonight didn’t go so well. I am optimistic though that it won’t be long before that unpleasant aspect of pregnancy is behind me – probably right about the time the horrible heartburn starts occurring on daily basis (if this baby takes after his (or her) big brother).

One big difference between this child and Adam?  When I was pregnant with Adam I always seemed to crave lemonade to drink, this little one prefers orange juice.  This was particularly unhelpful at 11 pm the other night, when I had a ton of lemonade mix in the pantry but no OJ in the fridge.
