Although he's barely the size of a kumquat — a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom — and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby now has completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature. If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.
I looked at the baby's size from last week to this week and it practically doubled in size. No WONDER I have been so completely exhausted?!?!? 2-3 more weeks of this "crap" and I should feel better. I am really looking forward to the 2nd trimester. I want to be able to get up in the morning for work like I used too....
