Week 13

I subscribed to the "What to Expect When You Are Expecting" e-mail news letter.

It's actually pretty cool. You punch in your due date and they send you emails timed to your baby's development.

Here is an excerpt from today's e-mail:
Week 13: Different Growths for Different Folks (and Fetuses)

Your fetus is now about three inches long and the size of a peach. But don't compare your fetus with the fetus next door. Starting about now, babies begin growing at different paces, some faster than others, some more slowly, though they all follow the same developmental path.

Your baby's intestines are also in for some big changes right now. Up till this point, they've been growing in a cavity inside the umbilical cord; but now they're moving to their permanent (and more conveniently located) address, in your baby's abdomen.

Also developing this week: your baby's vocal chords.
