12 Weeks

Baby:

The most dramatic development this week: reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.
Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over 2 inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.

That's how baby is growing.
I think I've moved away from the fear of losing the baby but on to the fear of something being wrong with baby because of this clot. I didn't really ask if it would be harmful developmentally if my baby survived. I know, silly. God is the Maker of this baby and there will be no mistakes. But still I wonder...

I am feeling much better. A little more so each day I think. Less nausea. Less fatigue. It's great!

Still anxiously awaiting those first flutters that tell me, "I'm here!" That is the most exciting part of the first half. Speaking of the first half, it's only 8 weeks until I am halfway. Just before Christmas. And next week I will begin the second trimester. Yay! One-third of the way.

P.S. I really need help with a header for my blog! I am so clueless and I can't ever find one that I can customize well and that matches the background I chose. The header looks dumb the way it is.
HELP!
