A lot has been going on this week!!! My friends Kevin and Mandy had their beautiful little Emma yesterday. I was lucky enough to get to see the 3 of them today. Emma is absolutely gorgeous. She looks so tiny compared to Garrett. She came into the world yesterday morning weighing a massive 5 pounds 14 ounces!!!! Check out a few pictures on their blog...there is a link on the side.
It is hard to believe that I am already 12 weeks. My maternity clothes are really starting to fit, although I have a feeling that some people probably look at me and think to themselves, "I can't believe she hasn't lost any of her baby weight yet." I am sure there will be more strange looks the larger I get. It is amazing to think that as fat as I feel, I have only gained about 6 pounds!!!
12 Weeks

Bet you can't wait to hear that first cry!~Those precious eyes begin to move closer together - Are you wondering if he will have mommy's crystal green eyes, daddy's laughing brown ones, or maybe out of the gene pool will emerge grandma's clear blue!
~Ears shift to their normal place on the side of the head
~Intestines move farther in to your child's body
~His or her liver begins to function - Responsible for cleansing the blood, storing nutrients, and providing needed chemicals, this is an important event!

~Guess what? Your baby's average size is now at a whopping length: 2.13 inches (5.4cm) and weight: 0.49 ounce (14gm)
