You're in your fourth month!
Growth spurt
In the next few weeks, your baby will double his weight and add inches to his length. His legs are much more developed, and his head is more erect.

The patterning of your baby's scalp has begun, though his locks aren't recognizable yet.
Heart at work
Your baby's heart is now pumping about 25 quarts of blood each day, and this amount will continue to increase as your baby develops.

Growing uterus
The top of your uterus is about halfway between your pubic bone and your navel, and the round ligaments that support it are thickening and stretching as it grows.
Feeling better?
Less nausea, fewer mood swings, and "glowing" skin contribute to an overall sense of well-being.
Baby kicks?
Soon you'll be feeling your baby move. While some women notice "quickening" this early, most don't feel their baby move until 18 weeks or more. (If this is your first baby, you may not feel movements until 20 weeks or so.) The first movements may feel like little flutters, gas bubbles, or even like popcorn popping, but they'll grow stronger and more frequent.

Start a baby names list
Here's a good way to make a baby names list you and your partner can live with: Make a list of ten names you like. Have your partner do the same. Trade lists and take turns crossing off names you don't love until you (hopefully) have some in common.
Talk to your baby
Though you can't have a face-to-face chat yet, talking to your baby is a great way to start the bonding process. If having an actual conversation seems odd to you, narrate your activities, read out loud, or share your secret wishes for your child.
