Supposedly, during the second trimester I will regain some energy. I have pretended that I am already gaining some of that energy, but my eyelids still tattle on me at 7:00 when I'm nodding off.

Little Baby P. is growing and my belly is starting to grow as well. I'm in what I call the "awkward" phase-- where my maternity clothes are still a little too big, but my regular clothes are a little too small. Today, I wore a pair of maternity jeans which were still a little too big, so I felt awkward all day long at my desk. I also have found out that maternity pants, since they have so much elastic in them, get a funky "rubbery" smell after being put in the dryer. To me, they smell like a Mickey Mouse kid tent.

So, I smelled like Mickey Mouse tent all day until I could go home and change clothes. :)

-Little Baby P.'s bones and skull are solidifying
-Ribs begin to appear
-Little Baby P.'s intestines (which were partly in the umbilical cord last week) are now tucked inside
-Tooth sockets have tiny teeth that will make their appearance several months after Little Baby P. is born
-Vocal cords and the larynx are completely formed and ready to cry, coo, and giggle in just a few short months! :)
-Little Baby P. weighs 20 grams and is 3 inches long, or about the length of a Nutter Butter:
