Baby Girl:
"Head to rump, your baby is about 5 1/2 - 6 inches long (about the length of a bell pepper) and he weighs almost 7 ounces. He's busy flexing his arms and legs — movements that you'll start noticing more and more in the weeks ahead. His blood vessels are visible through his thin skin, and his ears are now in their final position, although they're still standing out from his head a bit. A protective covering of myelin is beginning to form around his nerves, a process that will continue for a year after he's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and fallopian tubes are formed and in place. If you're having a boy, his genitals are noticeable now, but he may hide them from you during an ultrasound."
Me:
I'm definitely feeling more pregnant now. I can't bend over while sitting without moving my legs apart. It feels like I'm squishing her! Such an odd sensation, but really cool at the same time.

I'm working a graveyard shift at the surgical center tonight. My tailbone feels like its getting shoved up into my spine. I try to adjust and sit on my side more. Its not helping, this just makes my ribs hurt. I'm watching an investigation show on cable. We're taking care of a patient that just had a facelift. She asked how she looked, I didn't know what to say, she looks like she got beat with a 2x4. I told her she looks good for just coming out of surgery. I keep thinking I feel the baby kick, but I'm still not sure. It could just be gas bubbles. Either way, the thought of the baby moving puts a smile on my face.
