9 Weeks

Holy cow that week FLEW by!!  I can't believe it's time to write another weekly baby blog :) and next week we HOPEFULLY should have some pictures of the little peanut in there! We have our first appointment on the 26th so  next week!!!!

This last week was fun for me and drew we just kind of got through school and spent the times together. Drew has a new work schedule so it seems like we're spending a lot more time together (even though it's the same amount of time as it was before)  Drew and I spent a lot of time watching tv but it's been good because we cuddle lots :) I don't look preggers still but there are those moments after i eat a good meal that the tummy pokes through :) I know it may just be the food. I sware i feel more pregant this week because things in the tum tum are much tighter (again i can feel it, you can't see it).

I actually got sick last week for a few days there. I'm still weird queasy in some mornings but I've been ok. Like i said a few days out of last week I actually even had to head home from work one day. I've been actually sick lately too but it's just been the last 4 days or so. it was just a stuffy nose but my voice is finally coming back after the last 3 days of sounding like a chipmunk going through puberty.

I'm still consistantly about 105 this week i don't think i even was ever different from 105 every morning. so at least it was consistant. 

Baby time :) tee hee
and just to warn you i'm cutting and pasting again. this time i'm just acutally cutting and pasting from 2 sites and putting them one on top of the other because there is too much to cover and they probably won't sound good if i try and mesh the 2 site's information.
oh and the gender that they may say has NOTHING to do with the actual gender of the baby because again we have NO clue
9 Weeks:
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.


Your baby's rapid growth continues, but the furious rearrangement of cells has nearly stopped. Soon your baby will no longer need the yolk sac that once provided blood cells, because her bone marrow, liver, and spleen are starting to take on that task. In fact, almost all of the organs are beginning to function. Her liver is secreting bile, and her pancreas is producing insulin.

By now your baby's heartbeat is about 160-170 beats per minute. That's about as fast as the human heart rate ever gets! She's slightly over an inch long, and she will more than double in length before the end of this month.
If you could see your baby, you'd discover that her arms and legs have lengthened even more now, and her fingers and toes are better defined. You'd also see that her head is more rounded and more upright on her developing neck. The plates of her skull are forming. Her eyes are still on either side of her head, but they are starting to move forward as her head grows. The tip of her nose has formed, her ears are continuing to form, and she now has tubes leading from her throat to her lungs.

Back to the cute quarters (we're at a grape size now can you believe it)
