{my sugar plum}

Good morning! Today marks 12 weeks! Time is just flying by! I guess it helps being a busy little bee! Today, the Baby is the size of a plum! A little Christmas Sugar Plum! Oh and the good news?? I'm 1/3 of the way through baking this little bun! I can't wait to meet Baby and wrap him or her in love and kisses!

The average fetus at 12 weeks is about 2.1 inches long and .49 ounces. Now that she's (or he's) got pretty much all her (or his) parts, her (or his) main job is to keep on growing!

Most of her (or his) critical systems are fully formed. She's about to enter the growth and maturation stage, in which her organs and tissues will grow and develop rapidly. She's now developing her reflexes -- if you poke her body she'll likely move. HEY NO POKING THE BABY! She's opening and closing her fingers and curling her toes, too. Her brain is developing fast!!!
