How your baby's growing: Head to bottom, your baby is approximately 5 1/2 inches long (about the length of a large sweet potato) and she weighs almost 7 ounces. She's busy flexing her arms and legs — movements that you'll likely start noticing more and more. Her blood vessels are visible through her thin skin and her ears are now in position and stand out from her head. Myelin (a protective covering) is beginning to form around her nerves, a process that will continue for a year after she's born. If you're having a girl, her uterus and Fallopian tubes are formed and in place.
As for me, my belly is getting rounder for sure, although some of my students are surprised I'm not showing very much--I said just give me a couple months :-) It's fun feeling little Lindsey kick every now and then!! I can't wait to feel it more (I know--in a couple months I'll wish she'd stop jabbing my ribs...oh well!) we get to have another ultrasound in a week and a half :-)

That is so neat that you can feel her moving! :) And you are right... just you wait until you can't sleep because she is so active!!!
