12 Weeks!

I am officially 12 weeks! There's a little picture I got from babycenter.com to give me an idea of what Bagel might look like right now. Big difference from the 8 week picture, huh? Here's the 12 weeks excerpt from babycenter.com:

The most dramatic development this week: Reflexes. Your baby's fingers will soon begin to open and close, his toes will curl, his eye muscles will clench, and his mouth will make sucking movements. In fact, if you prod your abdomen, your baby will squirm in response, although you won't be able to feel it. His intestines, which have grown so fast that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into his abdominal cavity about now, and his kidneys will begin excreting urine into his bladder.Meanwhile, nerve cells are multiplying rapidly, and in your baby's brain, synapses are forming furiously. His face looks unquestionably human: His eyes have moved from the sides to the front of his head, and his ears are right where they should be. From crown to rump, your baby-to-be is just over two inches long (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce.

Eeeeek! So exciting! I can't wait until my next appointent next week. Hoping I get an ultrasound which I'm pretty sure I will... hopefully! Maybe I shouldn't get my hopes up to high.

We've been getting Jake to try and kiss Bagel (well my belly). Jake, in case you weren't aware, is our dog... almost like our first born. haha! Anyway, he knows the command "kiss" and so we've been pointing to my belly and saying, "kiss." Well it hasn't worked yet, but a few times he plops his head down on my belly. But I don't think that's because he can sense Bagel or anything. He just likes to act like he's still a puppy. haha! Junior can't wait until my belly gets a little bigger and Jake rests his head on my belly. He wants a picture of that so bad. I think it'll be pretty cool!
