| Your baby is growing and is developed enough to tell if it

Your Baby
About the size of a peach, your baby's body starts to catch up to the head. Eyes, which start out on the side of the face, move toward the center and the ears move toward the side of the head. The genitalia is developed enough to easily tell whether you have a boy or girl.
You
Welcome to your second trimester where (in most cases) the sore breasts, nausea, and constant urge to pee of first trimester abate and your energy returns--albeit temporarily! You're belly's getting bigger, but you're not uncomfortable yet, and you're most likely ready to share your happy news.
You may experience a little lightheadedness 'round about this time as your body increases blood flow to your baby. Standing up and bending over and getting up too quickly can cause dizziness, so turn off the heavy metal and take it slow. Dizziness can also be caused by low blood sugar, so be sure that your staying well nourished and hydrated throughout the day, especially when you're exercising.
