According to "What to expect when you're expecting" this week, the baby has broken the 1 lb mark and is 8 inches long. How heavy is that? Hold a 1 lb box of sugar the next time you're in the grocery store.
The baby is making more sense of the world as he/she develops the sense of touch. Its grip is quite developed by now and he/she may sometimes hold on tight to the umbilical cord. (Must get pretty boring in the womb! It needs something to entertain it.) The sense of sight is also getting more developed. It can now perceive light & dark much better than before (even with fused eyelids). Eyebrows & eyelashes are well formed now & even more hair is sprouting atop that head. Hair at this stage has no pigment though, so it's bright white.
I'm still feeling pretty good. Sometimes I've been having acid reflux at night, I've never had this before I got pregnant. It's not a good feeling. I also sometimes get a mild case of restless leg syndrome at night. My legs feel all tingly and I feel like I have to shake them to relieve it. But overall, can't complain compared to what some women go through.
