I can't believe I'm starting month 3 already! I'm so excited! This week we have our first ultrasound. I have had a huge appetite this past week. I never thought that talk about cravings and aversions was true but wow- some food this week have really turned me off! Like ranch dressing on my salad. I could hardly take a bite, but I did manage to finish it!
Baby, meanwhile, is starting to form ears, a nose and lips! The head is still pretty big compared with the rest of the body, and it's resting on his/her chest. The baby looks somewhat like and is the size of a small shrimp! (babyfit.com)
The folds that will form your baby's eyelids are forming on the face, while nerve cells in the retina are developing, paving the way for sight. The very tip of your baby's nose is now present, and their tiny ears are forming both on the outside and inside of the head, as nerve pathways related to hearing develop. The tubes connecting the lungs and throat are sprouting, and their arms are growing longer. In fact, your baby now has a pair of elbows!
