I felt the baby for the first time. Tom and I were talking, getting ready to go to bed and all of a sudden I felt butterflies. It lasted for about a minute and a half. I was surprised that it lasted so long. It was a fun experience that I can't wait to feel again (until the baby keeps me up all night kicking).
How your baby's growing:
Get ready for a growth spurt. In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. Right now, he's about the size of an avocado: 4 1/2 inches long (head to rump) and 3 1/2 ounces. His legs are much more developed, his head is more erect than it has been, and his eyes have moved closer to the front of his head. His ears are close to their final position, too. The patterning of his scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet. He's even started growing toenails. And there's a lot happening inside as well. For example, his heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby continues to develop.
