In 2 hours I will be 9 weeks pregnant!!! I still can't believe that we have been blessed like this. I have been feeling about the same. Sick if I eat and sick if I don't, but hungry all the time. I have also started having heart burn pretty badly the past couple of days. The good news is I have a second vote on things, so anytime Mark doesn't want to go somewhere or do something it is 2 against 1 so I always win! :)
What is the baby up to this week????
Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain.
I know the paragraph says "she" but I just copied and pasted it from the internet.... I am not swayed one way or the other! Anyone have any guesses this early yet? Mark & I are both undecided as of now!
Keep sending the prayers & thanks for reading!
Love,
Mark & Missy
