At the first trimester screen last week, the doctor checked for normal growth and we are right on track. Now Marty can hear, make facial expressions, suck his thumb, he even has finger prints and he's only about the size of a lemon! The image is a bit blurry but we're looking at the profile and his head is the roundish, white part around the middle left. You can make out the spine on the right (the little dots in a row), legs are up top (horizontal lines just below the header). For the curious click on this link to see a photograph of a fetus at this stage of development (if you're squeamish, don't click): http://static.howstuffworks.com/gif/pregnancy-6.jpg I'm looking forward to the first signs of a kick! An interesting factoid -- If a baby continued to grow at the same rate after it is born as it does in the womb it would weight 200 pounds by its first birthday!
