Weekly Wisdom: You can be 110% sure of the gender and be completely wrong. So just be prepared either way even if you are SOOOOO convinced of its gender.

Milestone: Finding out the gender!! This week the baby can hear us now and he is starting to recognize our voices and hear my heartbeat. This week we learned he is a HE. I feel like this week we both are finally fully aware of each other and that's pretty darn amazing if you ask me. :)

Emotions: CRAZY!! I’m having a SON!!!! It makes it so much more real to know that I am carrying a little man and he has a name and everything. He is our son, our little miracle.



Your baby's sensory development is exploding! Her brain is designating specialized areas for smell, taste, hearing, vision, and touch. Some research suggests that she may be able to hear your voice now, so don't be shy about reading aloud, talking to her, or singing a happy tune if the mood strikes you.

Your baby weighs about 8 1/2 ounces and measures 6 inches, head to bottom — about the size of a large heirloom tomato. Her arms and legs are in the right proportions to each other and the rest of her body now. Her kidneys continue to make urine and the hair on her scalp is sprouting. A waxy protective coating called the vernix caseosa is forming on her skin to prevent it from pickling in the amniotic fluid.
