Preggy meh!


Do I look like am preggy?

Today marks my 13th week of my pregnancy. By the end of pregnancy week 13, our baby looks like a tiny yet fully formed baby. While our baby’s head is still quite large, his body is starting to catch up. Our baby’s eyes are starting to move closer together by pregnancy 13 weeks. Up until this point in time, they rested closely along the sides of the head. Our baby’s intestines are also moving further into the body, and our baby’s tiny pancreas is starting to produce insulin, which will be vital for regulating your baby’s sugar levels later in life!

Fingerprints have formed on our baby’s tiny fingertips, her veins and organs are clearly visible through her still-thin skin, and her body is starting to catch up with her head — which makes up just a third of her body size now. If we’re having a girl, she now has more than 2 million eggs in her ovaries, but what about if we’re having a boy? :) Our baby is almost 3 inches long (the size of a medium shrimp) and weighs nearly an ounce.

Whatta pose! Guess who’s behind that butt? lolz…
This was taken months ago when I attended my friend’s wedding…

Our fetus is only about 1.2 inches / 3 centimeters long from crown to rump and weighs less than a sixth of an ounce / 4 grams. Even so, it’s busily swallowing and kicking. Each day more minute details start to appear, such as fingernails and peach-fuzzy hair.

Unfortunately, the theory that some foods or supplements can burn fat is about as possible as turning back time. It turns out this theory is based on wishful thinking and not an ounce of science. From a physiological standpoint, it’s impossible for foods to burn fat in the body. While it’s true that foods contain caffeine can temporarily boost your metabolism, that’s simply not enough to cause any trigger weight loss. The best way to lose weight and get rid of excess body fat remains the same, cutting back on calories and boosting your physical activity is still the best.
