Thirteen Weeks Pregnant



Mummy's belly may soon be big enough to announce to the world that I'm on my way, but I am still tiny. In fact, I'm only about 3 inches long crown to rump — roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp — and weigh just about an ounce. Despite the small proportions, there's a fully formed baby in here now. Much more proportional than it was a few weeks ago, my head is now only about a third the size of my body. My tiny, unique fingerprints are already in place. My kidneys and urinary tract are functional, and I'm starting to urinate out the amniotic fluid I've been swallowing.
