"Your astonishingly tiny baby has been hard at work growing as fast as possible—almost doubling in size in the past three weeks! Amazingly, you’re in for a repeat size doubling performance within the next three weeks! Your tiny champion still weighs less than a quarter of an ounce but has already completed the most critical stage of their development. Using Doppler technology, your doctor or gynecologist can let you hear their tiny rapid fetal heartbeats this week (145-165 beats per minute!). Chances for miscarriage are greatly reduced when the heartbeat can be detected, so take a sigh of relief if you’ve been needing one—it hasn’t been an easy ten weeks! What’s more, they’re getting ready to make their first baby poop! Your little one’s major organ systems are developing, including a functioning digestive tract capable of moving food all the way through their bowels. The final shiny gold star on their fetal behavior chart for the week: your little scrapper has already developed defense mechanisms to protect them on reflex!"
And here's my latest belly shot! Can you tell a difference in just two weeks??
Most of that belly is simply my digestive system (aka bowels) being pushed out. I've had quite a bit of bloating, giving me the appearance of having a preggers belly. My true baby bump probably won't "pop" for another month or two! I can't wait!! :o) Despite the difference in appearance, I still have not gained even a single pound. And my blood pressure is still low. So things are good. And I continually praise God for this miracle!!
