I know...2 posts in 1 day is quite an accomplishment for me:) Thought I'd quickly share what's going on with Baby Bean this week!
Your nearly four-inch long gymnast is happily mobile inside your womb and if you're really lucky, you’ll notice a point when your sneezing, coughing or laughing results in a little kick here or a poke there. Still, many women don't feel anything until the 17th week or later. Although the poking and kicking isn't very charming during sleeping hours, it’s a good sign as it means your baby is actually reacting to outside events. Yay! You’ve got yourself one active healthy baby! Their little elbows and knees are bending more freely this week and their little legs are finally growing longer than their arms and getting pumped up for prenatal Richard Simmons. Many of their major organ systems are increasing in capacity—particularly that amazing tiny heart and complex circulation system, which is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood per day, and will increase to a very impressive 200 quarts per day by the end of the pregnancy. As far as hair goes, we’ve got some new scalp patterns beginning to develop on the head, although actual head hair is not yet present.

It is fun to read about Baby Bean's progress each week. It has been along time since I have read up on this topic. Keep us posted on the darling diva.
thanks Jamie, I don't even need to log into babycenter for my owns updates. Keep up with these little fun ones, where do you get them from?
If you haven't watched the Tori and Dean show on Oxygen, you have to watch it. Tori is a major worry wart! At one point in the last episode, she was convinced that her baby girl would poke her finger through the utereus and puncture her liver or kidneys! Never have I heard an expected Mom say such nonsense!
You, on the other hand, are a very grounded, loving mom. This is evident in your loving blog!
