Week 12 - Pained & Hungry

The past few weeks I have felt like I pulled a rib. I know it's just the muscle but it still really hurts. I popped it pretty bad one day while I was hugging the toilet. It gets better during the night, but during the day when I have to sneeze or cough or anything like that it feels like I pull it again. No fun.

Something else that I have noticed a lot more the last couple weeks is that I feel constantly hungry. It seems like no matter what I eat or how much I eat I am still hungry 2 hours later. It crazy! I don't like this feeling at all but I have a feeling that it's not going to end until after the baby gets here.

Josh told me the other day that we are probably going to find out the sex of the baby next month. We have a friend that can give us free ultrasounds and we have it set up to have one done either week 17 or 18. I'm excited! I can't wait to find out if we're having a boy or girl.

What's happening inside me:
By the end of the third month, your baby is fully formed. Your baby has arms, hands, fingers, feet and toes and can open and close its fists and mouth. Fingernails and toenails are beginning to develop and the external ears are formed. The beginnings of teeth are forming. Your baby's reproductive organs also develop, but the baby's gender is difficult to distinguish on ultrasound. The circulatory and urinary systems are working and the liver produces bile.

At the end of the third month, your baby is about 4 inches long and weighs about 1 ounce.
