Baby's now the size of a prune!


With bones and cartilage starting to form and vital organs beginning to function, baby is making major progress. Body length will almost double in the next three weeks, and arm joints are now working. (Soon, legs will start working too.)






Nothing too new to report, morning sickness seems to be easing up some but still have to snack. I get really tired after I eat and have been trying not to nap after dinner but its really hard. No baby bump yet, here is a picture from 9/1/2010.

Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like...well...a baby!

8 weeks and some change

I'm a little slow this week, its been rough. All I want to do is sleep and eat. My first appointment with the midwife Loretta is Friday. Not sure what all she will do but I will be 9 weeks that day unless she changes it. Hope to start doing the survey on here weekly that we do on thenest.com GP message board along with how big the baby is courtesy of thebump.com.

Baby's now the size of a raspberry!


Baby is growing like mad, putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Though you can't feel it yet, baby is moving those little arms, legs, and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy.

7 weeks and first ultrasound

Had my first ultrasound on Tuesday and it was Amazing!!! We got to see and hear the heartbeat and couldn't believe how real it makes it all feel. Told some more family and work. Will slowly tell more as we go. Still have some good and bad days as far as food. Can't eat most meats right now and snacks are key.
  

From the bump: Your Baby Week 7


Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.

6 weeks and some change

Nothing much to tell other than I feel crappy all the time. Tired and queasy, snacking does help a lot but I seem to be always needing something to tide me over. Heading up to Canton on Sunday for the Pro Football Hall of Fame game between the Bengals and Cowboys. This was Neil's birthday present. Staying the night Sunday and coming home Monday. Ultrasound is Tuesday.

Baby is now the size of a sweet pea!
Growing like crazy, baby is starting to sprout eyes, ears, nose, cheeks, and chin. Those little hands and feet -- still webbed like paddles -- might wiggle by week's end, the heart is beating (almost twice as fast as yours!), and blood is starting to circulate.
