What's going on in the Belly?
I find it amazing that by 12 or 13 weeks, all the major organ systems have formed. Apparently this week, the liver is already producing insulin. And obviously the heart is formed and beating already. He/she already has 20 teeth or so, waiting under the gums. Toes, fingers already there. If it's a girl, she already has all 2 million eggs she's going to have for life in her ovary. At 13 weeks!! Of course he's like 2 inches long so I guess the last 20 odd weeks are about growth. There's a lot going on in there!

the liver is formed already? does that mean you're now not only eating for 2, but officially drinking for 2 as well?
clearly, i'm asking on behalf of your other half ;)
You're glowing already! Congratulations!!! Someday, your peanut and my monkey can have a play date somewhere in between SF and Chi.
Very nice....yes organs form early. I guess they didnt mention that around that time the babies intestine herniate out through the abdomen, do a lil spin and then come back in (dont flip out, it is normal).
