I'm gaining more energy each day, and although the nausea has not subsided it has gotten a little more tolerable! This weekend Ricas and I spent quite a bit of time trying to come up with girl name's that we both liked- so far we are 0 for 0 (if you have any suggestions, let us know).

New this week: Your baby, just over 1 1/2 inches long and about the size of a fig, is now almost fully formed. Her hands will soon open and close into fists, tiny tooth buds are beginning to appear under her gums, and some of her bones are beginning to harden.

She's already busy kicking and stretching, and her tiny movements are so effortless they look like water ballet. These movements will become more frequent as her body grows and becomes more developed and functional. You won't feel your baby's acrobatics for another month or two — nor will you notice the hiccupping that may be happening now that her diaphragm is forming.
