That wee sea-monkey that has set up tenancy inside you is getting smarter everyday. Seriously – even though that kid is only the size of a peanut, he or she is manufacturing new brain cells (and cells make copies of themselves, and they make copies of themselves) at a rate of 100 per minute.
As for mum? Mood swings are still in full schwing (!) this week since the placenta still hasn't taken over the production of hormones and your tired, camped-out-in-body is swarming with them these days. It is perfectly normal to go from happy to sad to angry to frustrated to terrified to joyous to indifferent within the span of a minute these days – and that's just when you think about what to wear! Try to keep it under control...or blame it on too many donuts and not enough coffee (by the way, studies recently have shown that pregnant women who drank one coffee per day did no worse than their counterparts who drank none but, this is something you can discuss with your health care provider).
