Plum Purty

This is the last week of Mommy's first trimester!  I can't believe how the time has passed. The most dramatic development this week? Reflexes. Our baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, her eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements, getting ready for the bobo and thumbs! Our baby has doubled in size in the last three weeks.
If Mommy would let us poke and tickle her tummy, our baby would squirm a little bit in response. Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and our baby's brain is forming furiously.
Maybe I better start buying up a few books for Mommy and Daddy so they can brush up on their reading to baby skills!
** Several friends have asked if we know what we are having in May. No news on gender yet. The doctor told Mommy that we may be able to find out what we are getting around Christmas!
