9 Weeks-Prune Baby!
My baby this week: Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. He's starting to look more and more human. His 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 his 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. His eyes are fully formed, but his eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. He 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, he's poised for rapid weight gain.
Size of baby: The baby has grown to the size of a grape, weighs a fraction of an ounce, and is almost 1 inch long.
Maternity Clothes: Yes-I'm even outgrowing my zip up hoodies.
Sleep: Crazy dreams. Can't get enough sleep.
Best Moment of the Week: Having the energy to clean and reorganize my apartment and going out for dinner and a movie! Oh...and finding out that I get another early ultrasound!
Movement: No.
Food cravings: I started feeling better a few days ago so I've been eating more...maybe that's where those two pounds came from! Subway!!!!! omg...I'm dying for a sub!
Gender: Girl? Boy? I dunno!
What I Miss: Spending time with my friends. Up till now, I haven't had the energy to go anywhere except work...which I've barely had the energy to do either.
What I'm Looking Forward To: Having the energy to see my friends more!
Milestones: Only 4 more weeks left in my first trimester! One more month...woot woot!!!!
Emotions: I had a good cry over a juice commercial. Minute Maid made me emotional.
Symptoms: Cramps-I can feel my uterus stretching and growing, round ligament pain, nausea, vomiting, fatigue, constant hunger. I caught my husband's cold this week too. When I get colds they sometimes turn into a full blown sinus infection and I can't take the normal medicine I used to now that I'm pregnant so hoping this cold just goes away soon on it's own.
