This week the baby is approximately .63 inches, and weighs approximately .04 ounces, and is roughly the size of a raspberry.
"It's a boy - no wait...it's a girl. This is the week that your baby's primary reproductive organs will either become testes or ovaries. Even though the sex is determined at conception, the gonads took until now to become one or the other. If you would like to find out your baby's sex before birth, it's still too soon to show on an ultrasound. Most gender scans are not available until week 17. Even though you still can't tell the sex of your baby yet, some other visual distinctions are becoming apparent. Now your baby's face has an upper lip, eyelids and tip of the nose. A tiny tongue is growing inside the small mouth. The little fingers and toes that you will be counting at birth have begun to form too. If you're carrying twins, it's possible that you may have one of each sex developing in your uterus."





3/1/14 - I had a bit of a scare this morning. I had some serious cramping going on, which I didn't have last pregnancy. It had me quite anxious/freaked out. Luckily there was no bleeding, and it went away about 45 minutes later. So fingers are crossed that it was just uterus pains from growing. 

3/4/14 - Still no spotting, so I'm assuming I'm safe.
