Well last week I got hit with that good ol' pregnancy nausea. I thought I had escaped the dreaded thing, but no. So food cravings have changed, needless to say. From hot dogs and hot sauce to potatoes and starch. From pregnancy glow to pregnancy green. How is it possible that such a small being can make you so sick?
This is week 9 (I'm 8 weeks and 3 days) and the baby is 1 inch long or the size of a green olive or grape this week. All the baby's joints such as the knees, elbows, shoulders, ankles, and wrists are working and allowing the baby to move about freely within the amniotic sac. The baby's heart began beating around day 24, but now his/her heart has divided into four chambers, and the valves are beginning to develop. The baby can also make a fist and may begin to suck his/her thumb.
Reflections:
Up to this point, the pregnancy has been kind of like a ghost in my mind. I had no symptoms other than being extremely tired, a missed period, and strange cravings. But once this nausea hit, boy did it hit me. If I had any doubts before about being pregnant, I sure don't now. Here in a couple of weeks, I will go for the first ultrasound. I think that will truly bring it home for both Brad and I. Can't wait!
This is so exciting! I had no idea you had blog, I love following them! Can't wait to hear all about it week by week:) Luv ya <3
