12 Weeks...

I'm Plum Pregnant!

Haha, I crack myself up.

Hmmmmm.....

Well, here is what's going on with the little plum this week:

Your baby has more than doubled in size during the past three weeks,weighing in now at 1/2 ounce and measuring (crown to rump) about 2 1/2inches. About the size of a large fresh plum, your baby's body is hard at work in the development department. Though most of his or her systems are fully formed, there's still plenty of maturing to do. The digestive system is beginning to practice contraction movements (so your baby will be able to eat), the bone marrow is making white bloodcells (so your baby will be able to fight off all those germs passed around the playgroup), and the pituitary gland at the base of thebrain has started producing hormones (so your baby will one day be able to make babies of his or her own).

No wonder I'm still so tired! I ordered a Belly Band from the UK and had it sent to Katy's mom and she arrived a couple of days ago to visit little Billie (and Katy and Rick), so she brought it for me. I am loving the band. It works great with holding up my maternity pants that are a little too big for me still, and holds up my unbuttoned pants for work great. It will at least do the trick until I get back to the States and can buy some clothes that actually fit. Buying clothes here just isn't the greatest of ideas because 1) They're ugly. 2) They're expensive and ugly. 3) They're low quality. I think I'll pass.

TGIF, people. I have 26 days of work left, after today. Although it never feels like I'll actually make it when I wake up in the morning, I think that I will. I have to be like the little engine that could.

What a great book...
