You

One funny thing with pregnancy is what you feel like eating. Pregnant women throughout time have been known to crave weird foods, at all hours of the day. The most common offenders are highly talked about in movies, on TV and in comic strips - ice cream and dill pickles. Some women like both at the same time. You just never know. It only makes sense that if your hormones are acting up, that your taste buds will too. Keep a food diary to make sure you are eating well and to record those crazy cravings!

If you need a project to take your mind off food, prepare a family tree for baby's keepsake box.

Your Baby

Baby is 36.6cm long and weighs 875 grams. This week your baby's eyelids will open for the first time. His eyelids won't remain open for too long yet, that comes later. Your baby will also begin the reflex of blinking. His blink may be slow at first, but he is learning how to protect his eyes beneath. Eyelashes will be present on the ends of the lids, but not fully-grown.
