Week 10

Baby has been busy this week developing finger nail beds, peach fuzz hair, and even taste buds. Baby is now the size of a kumquat and is exiting the embryonic stage and entering the fetal period. Yeah Baby!

Ultrasound (9 weeks & 4 days)

Now the size of a large green olive - Baby is doing great! Baby's eyes have eyelids, Baby's heart has all four chambers, and Baby is moving! Of course I can't feel it yet but I was able to see it on the ultrasound screen. So AMAZING!!!

Week 9

Here I am at 9 weeks pregnant - if you look closely you can see my little 'bump'. Okay... I am pushing it out a bit but at least I am proud of it. Man! The second time round things happen much more QUICKLY!

Week 8 - Feeling a little fruity...

Well - my uterus is now the size of a grapefruit and baby is the size of a raspberry. It is amazing to believe that he/she is gaining over 100 brain cells per minute - this is going to be one smart baby!

Week 7

Our baby is now as big as a blueberry and already has some color to his/her eyes. I wonder if they will be a beautiful blue like Avrey's?

Ultrasound (6 weeks & 3 days)

After a small amount of spotting Dr. Saprykina wanted to make sure all was well so she squeezed me into her busy schedule and what do you know... we have a healthy little baby who measures 0.86 cm long and has a heart as big as a poppy seed that beats 144 beats per minute! Truly amazing!

Week 6

Okay - who turned up the nausea?

I am eating about every fifteen minutes lately and sipping water all day long just to keep my nausea at bay. Not complaining though - it is a good sign that the baby is doing well!

Kind of funny though... Avrey asked me the other day "Mama - you got the HUNGRIES?"
