first trimester....done!

i'm a third of the way through! yay! we are back in tickfaw after a road trip of 1300 miles in three days. exhausted. but lots of positive results from meeting with the 7 pastors. we are excited about what God is doing here.
this is a short post, sorry. going to go rest, but before i do, here is what baby hudgins is up to this week....

Your baby's hit the 2-inch mark (about the size of a lime) and weighs half an ounce. Her face is beginning to look more human. Her eyes, which started out on the sides of her head, have moved closer together on her face, and her ears are near their final positions on the sides of her head. Your baby's intestines, which have grown so rapidly that they protrude into the umbilical cord, will start to move into her abdominal cavity about now. Her kidneys are secreting urine into her bladder. Her nerve cells have been multiplying rapidly, and synapses (neurological pathways in the brain) are forming. Your baby may have acquired more reflexes by now, including sucking, and she'll even squirm if you prod your abdomen, though you still won't be able to feel her movement for several weeks.
