what's up with baby hudgins this week?

Your belly may soon be big enough to announce to the world that you're expecting (mine definitely IS), but your baby is still tiny. In fact, he's only about 3 inches long crown to rump, roughly the size of a jumbo shrimp, and weighs just about an ounce. Despite the small proportions, there's a fully formed baby inside your womb now. Much more proportional than it was a few weeks ago, his head is now only about a third the size of his body. His tiny, unique fingerprints are already in place. His kidneys and urinary tract are functional, and he's starting to urinate out the amniotic fluid he's been swallowing. As you start your second trimester, most of your baby's critical development will be completed, and your odds of miscarriage will drop considerably. (Praise the Lord!!)

We'll know early Dec if it's a boy or girl! Very excited about finding out the results! We have decided that our boy's nursery will have a UGA theme :) and if it's a girl we'll go with Precious Moments. Fun.

Hope everyone is enjoying these updates. I think its fascinating what goes on from week to week.
