Nov. 3: I can’t believe that the little one is putting on weight so quickly. According to BabyCenter, she’s added a half pound in the last few wees, now weighing in at about a pound and two thirds. I’m reaching the end of the lovely second trimester, and all is calm and easy. My belly is starting to poke out more, causing me to grunt a big while bending over to pick things up off the floor, but I’m still nearly completely comfortable. While I raked the lawn yesterday, the little one- either excited or unhappy with my activity-was dancing up a storm. She’s generally pretty quiet, but when she has one of her active cycles, holy cow! It’s starting to take my breath away! What a glorious time of year this is for me and my belly:)

How your baby’s growing:
Your baby now weighs about a pound and two-thirds and measures 14 inches (an English hothouse cucumber), from head to heel. The nerve pathways in her ears are developing, which means her response to sounds is growing more consistent. Her lungs are developing now, too, as she continues to take small breaths of amniotic fluid — good practice for when she’s born and takes that first breath of air.
