Day-by-Day: Thanks to all the lovely family and friends that sent birthday money, I finally bought a camera of my own!  It's funny that I have a husband that is a photographer, but we have never had just a point-and-shoot.  Well, now I will be behind the lens which means for you, lots and lots of pictures!

My Heart: I am now starting to "look" more pregnant which has been fun.  Somehow it feels more real when you see that little bump.  I also have a ton more energy.  This has helped me get back into my regular schedule.  I think I'm always in a perpetual state of nesting due to my persoanlity. However, with this new surge of energy I have found myself want to organize and clean everything.  A benefit to my husband and housemates for sure!

Baby's Growth:

• By now our baby can put a thumb in its mouth, although the sucking muscles aren't completely developed yet.
• The fetus, which is now about three inches long and a little more than an ounce in weight, would now fit into your cupped hands
• Tiny ribs will be developing.
• Vocal cords will begin forming.
• Baby's eyelids will fuse together to protect the delicate eyes.
• Tissues and organs will continue to mature.
• Bone marrow, liver and spleen will be able to produce blood cells now.
• Fingerprints are beginning to form.
