Remember this?

From Me

Hey !
well with my new due date being Dec 10th, (a difference of two days) I thought I would just jot down a few things on my mind.

First of all I got to see my baby's tiny heart beat when I went to the docs on Tuesday. My baby isn't quite an inch long but the heart beat was so strong. It just amazes me what is going on inside of me.

What I am noticing the most if how hungry I am the foods I "need" to have.
For example...this morning, I rarely eat breakfast but I got hungry and HAD to have spagetti.
Yes at 8:30 am...spagetti.

Sometimes the smell of certain things just turn me off from food so badly...and some smells just make my mouth water.

I am 2 days into my 8th week now which means only 1 more month and then I start my 2nd trimester!!!!

Oh what I am so looking forward to is the baby movement. That is one of the coolest parts of being pregnant.

I don't like the aches, pains, swelling of ankles and feet, and being so tired you lay down at 6 and don't wake up till the next day!!!
That is what happened to me yesterday. I was sooooooooooo tired....but I did wake up a bit cause I was so thirsty I would have walked 2 miles to get a drink but luckily I have wonderful children and a great husband who will get me whatever I want!!!!!

More later :)

Welcome to week 8!!

Fetal development in pregnancy week 8;

embryo in second month Woohoo!

You've got one whole inch of baby inside of you! Your little embryo has finally reached the one-inch mark (30mm). And if it were possible to take a peek, you could actually see your tiny baby without a telescope!

What’s more, your baby is finally starting to take on some very distinct human features. For starters, their little tail (really just the spinal cord) has disappeared completely. It’s nice to know your baby can no longer be mistaken for a sea creature!

Additionally, both their toes and fingers are prominent with very little, if any, webbing. Upper and lower limbs all show recognizable joints (elbows and knees) and the lower limb bones are starting to ossify. But don’t expect your baby to resemble either parent quite yet. Right now, your baby’s head is disproportionately larger than the rest of their body--making up almost half of your little one’s height and weight!


And how's mom doing?

Your slightly-larger-than-a-cherry embryo is also starting to have a physical impact on you this week—and not just hormonally, as you may be noticing a slight bulge at your midline-- mostly from water retention.

Most people won't even notice the subtle change to your belly's shape, but since you’re if you have been extra moody lately, that may start to subside this week, as the placenta is beginning to take responsibility for your baby’s hormone production tuned in to every little change in your body, it hasn’t slipped past.

Good news for the hormonally tortured: if you have been extra moody lately, that may start to subside this week, as the placenta is beginning to take responsibility for your baby’s hormone production. This means your body will soon be able to relax a bit from its over-production of hormones as the placenta starts to regulate your baby’s hormones-- allowing your body to focus on producing more normal levels of hormones for yourself

This is beautiful!!!!

Isn't this just amazing how much the hand changes in just three days????

I am in awe of God's creation and how He sets all things in motion....

As of today I am at day 53!!
