How big is baby?

How far along? 13 weeks
Total weight gain/loss: So far, I'm down about 10 lbs from where I ended cycle 10. Drs office reported I'm about 185.
How much does Baby weigh?: little over half an ounce I think
Maternity clothes? Oh but of course. Found more at garage sales too!
Stretch marks? same ones. Some are fading though.
Sleep: between getting up to pee and the cat, I'm not sleeping much.
Best moment this week: Hearing the baby's heartbeat at the drs (and finding out that D and Jenny got great news. Almost a perfect day)
Movement: Just gas.
Food cravings: orange soda and kit kats. not a lot but when I want one, its time for a kit kat bar.
Gender: been thinking boy all along. Everyone else says girl.
Labor Signs: No, just cramps
Belly Button in or out? in
What I miss: having a drink now and again. But its all worth it for now!
What I am looking forward to: the next appointment in about a month and then the big u/s! And now I can pinpoint our baby's HB! I know where to look!

Your fetus is forming teeth and vocal cords... savor this, their non-functional phase. Baby is approaching normal proportions, with a head now only one third the size of the body. Intestines are in the process of moving from the umbilical cord to baby's tummy. (Much more convenient.)
At the end of this week, your baby officially enters the second trimester of development. Although only 3 inches from crown to rump and weighing just half an ounce, she looks, well, human! Her eyes have moved from the sides of her head to the front, and her ears are in their normal position. She's also got reflexes--if you prod her, she'll squirm (although you still won't feel it), and her hands and feet respond to stimuli by closing or clenching.
