Our little Grape

I am super excited for this week! Our first doctor appointment is only a few days away!!!! This week I'm just going to copy and paste the week 9 size update straight from babycenter.com

"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 am so excited that on Thursday or Friday I'll be sharing the wonderful news with all of my friends (aka Facebook). I still need to make a few more phone calls before I spill the beans. I still haven't told some of my really good friends, mostly cause I haven't seen them recently. I guess I had better get on it! lol


Last week I was feeling nauseous quite a bit in the evenings. Makes it hard for me to do housework when I don't feel like moving. I have also noticed my pants getting a little tight already. so it's kinda a bummer to be getting bigger, but not have a baby belly yet! I'm so hoping I'll get a cute baby belly.... 


Alex and I got a new bed frame and slats last Wednesday and we've been sleeping so much better! I'm glad we got it then cause I don't want to even think about how painful sleeping on the floor could have gotten in the next 7 months. 


I hope that whoever is reading this is enjoying it. Feel free to leave comments if you feel so inclined. However, I have a sneaking hunch that the reader is my sister and therefore, you don't need to leave comments cause I see you every other day! lol


Another post on Thursday unless I feel the need to write before then. Thanks again for reading!
