Baby Love - 9 weeks

Baby is the size of a medium green olive!  She's gaining steam.  At week nine, your fetus measures around .09 inches and weighs about .07 ounces.  She's also developing more distinct facial features.  And her heartbeat is getting stronger!  Also, baby is now a fetus!  Baby was considered an embryo -- but now she's a fetus!  During the embryonic period, cells begin to take on different functions.  The brain, heart, lungs, internal organs, and arms and legs begin to form.  Once baby is a fetus, it's more about growth and development to prep for life on the outside.  Happy graduation day baby!

 How far along? 9 weeks
Total weight gain:  down 2.5 lbs (Yes - I am eating.  No - my doctors aren't worried about me losing weight.)
Maternity clothes?  I wear yoga pants and a t-shirt all day, every day.  I am sure J LOVES it!
Stretch marks?  Nope
Sleep:  My body is achy from laying around all the time.  But no troubles other than that.
Best moment this week:  I got my wedding ring back from the jeweler!
Miss anything?  Nah
Movement:  Just gas...
Food cravings:  Nothing that I can think of...
Anything making you queasy or sick:  I still get pretty queasy after dinner each night.  I am snacking while cooking and eating a pretty small portion, so I am not sure what the deal is.
Gender prediction:  Everyone I know is having boys!  So, either I will have a boy who will have lots of little playmates or I will have a girl with lots of little boyfriends!
Labor Signs:  Uh, no.
Symptoms:  Fatigue, sore boobs, overactive nose, evening sickness
Belly Button in or out?  In
Wedding rings on or off?  On!  So happy to have it back!
Happy or Moody most of the time:  I would say I am happy or queasy.  Those are my moods.
Looking forward to:  I have my first official OB appointment on Monday.  :o)

    Girls suck the beauty out of you for themselves...so more morning sickness, tiredness, bloating, etc. Boys want their Mommies to have the beauty...so they are much kinder to you. See, I told you. Official Method. You are queasy and tired...and laying on your back. It's a girl.
