9 Weeks and Feeling Great!

We are 9 weeks now! Not much new to report. I still feel great! Whaahooo!!!








Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like... well... a baby!

Festive Blog

I updated my blog for the holidays!! Not really festive but more wintery but I still like it! I can't wait till next weekend when I get to pull out all of my Christmas decorations. I love finding things I forgot I had! Although, I could use some more!!!! I did buy me a new ornament this weekend! You can't have too many Christmas decorations can you???

Happy Birthday to Me!!

Yesterday was my Birthday! I am now 29 years old. Yikes! This time next year I will be 30 years old with a baby! I went out yesterday and bought some bibs for baby but for my family. I got one that says "I love my Aunt!" and a set about how great grandpa is and how great grandma is! They loved them! I should take a picture of them to post since they are the cutest!

As for how I have been feeling, I feel great! I am exhausted all the time but other than that I am good. I was scared about morning sickness since my mom was sooooo sick with my sister and I. So far so good!

Your baby is growing like mad, putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Though you can't feel it yet, baby is moving those little arms, legs and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy.

On to week 7

Another week has gone by already! I have been feeling pretty good lately. I get a little queasy every now and then. I do not like to brush my teeth anymore! Yuck! Some days nothing sounds good to eat and I am always tired. But overall I do not have much to complain about. Cross your fingers that this is how it will stay.

Our baby is the size of a Blueberry this week! How cute is that!

Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.

Here is the weekly belly pic!

Picture Update!

Okay so I have a big belly! Especially for being only 5 weeks 5 days! Compared to other girls blogs that I have read I have a 14 week belly! I am going to be GINORMOUS!! I know it is just bloat, just bloat that I can't even suck in all the way!

1st Doctors Visit

Yesterday was our 1st doctors appointment. Obviously nothing too exciting happened but it was still exciting to be going to our 1st baby appointment. They weighed me in and had me pee in a cup. By the way, peeing on demand is very difficult for me to do! Of course once they get you in the room they make you wait awhile. So Lee and I were looking at baby magazines. Anyway, she did a pelvic exam to check the size of my uterus. She said that it is large more like an 8 week uterus! So that sounds good to me! Then we went over a few questions and they gave me a ton of different vitamin samples. They also took 3 vials of blood to test. Over all it was a good visit. My next appointment is Dec 9 and we get to hear the heartbeat!!! I am soo excited for that!!! This month is going to take forever to go by!
