Almost done with the second trimester! It has been a good 3 months for me (and baby). I have been able to get lots of exercise with walking, swimming and yoga which I think has kept me strong and mostly ache-free! Hopefully I can continue all of it for another 3 months.
On another note, I have been feeling some odd movements (kinda like a wiggle and a jump or the butterfly swimming stroke) lately and I think they might be the little boy hiccuping!!
How your baby's growing:
This week, your baby weighs almost 2 pounds (like a head of cauliflower) and is about 14 1/2 inches long with her legs extended. She's sleeping and waking at regular intervals, opening and closing her eyes, and perhaps even sucking her fingers. With more brain tissue developing, your baby's brain is very active now. While her lungs are still immature, they would be capable of functioning — with a lot of medical help — if she were to be born now. Chalk up any tiny rhythmic movements you may be feeling to a case of baby hiccups, which may be common from now on. Each episode usually lasts only a few moments, and they don't bother her, so just relax and enjoy the tickle.
