Week 13: What's Developing

Our baby is entering the 2nd trimester and is fully formed, and boy, is this baby active!  As you can see from the video, the baby is constantly moving and exercising those muscles!  The baby's neck is getting longer so the head is not constantly touching his/her chest.

Baby Coffman now has working reflex movements.  You could see this a few weeks ago on the video when Lisa pat her belly and the baby squirmed.  Hands and feet are responsive and the hands open and close.

The baby's little fingerprints are now fully formed and unique.

All nourishment is being supplied by the placenta now.

At week 13, the baby gains the ability to smile.  That's great, because this baby has made us smile from the day we found out about him/her.

This time next year, our baby will be 25 weeks old.
