This weeks developments: all critical systems are finally formed! Reflexes are developing and fingers and toes can open and close.

The US tech said baby Lite is an overachiever because it is already sucking it's thumb or fingers. They aren't supposed to do that until 15 weeks! The baby was jumping all around and really didn't like being poked and prodded with the US wand. I can't believe how much it was moving around, which she said was really good. Everything is on track for my due date and baby is growing on target!! :) She showed us all the developed parts from crown to rump... we even saw the stomach! And little tiny hands and feet :) We're at 171 bpm. Brian was thinking girl up until now, but after he saw how active baby is, he's starting to think boy. 6 more weeks until we can find out the sex! ahhhhh! I'm dying to know.
