And now for this week's stats...
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!
How Far Along: 9 weeks and 5 days
Total weight gain: I haven't weighed since last week at the doctor's office, but he did tell me I should shoot for 15-20 lbs total gain for the whole pregnancy
Maternity clothes: Not wearing any yet, but I'm going to be buying some maternity bras and underwear this weekend.
Sleep:I'm getting to where I'm more fatigued and get tired earlier in the day at work. I was wondering if it was ever going to hit me!
Best Moment this week: Finding out there are so many amazing people who want to throw me a shower!
Movement: Nothing that I can feel yet
Gender: Still no clue, but my mom is going to buy me the IntelliGender kit. We'll see how reliable that is!
Labor signs: None and I hope not to see any for a long time!
Belly button: Innie
Cravings: Juice. Any kind. I've become a fan of V8 V-Fusion juices and I'm getting my veggies in on days that I can't eat as well.
Nausea: Oh yes. It's there. Dry heaving and gagging in the shower has become a daily occurrence. Fun.
What I miss:Loving every single second!
Stretch Marks: There are some new ones on my belly. I bought some Palmer's Stretch Mark lotion with shea butter and it smells like rye bread. Weird.
Weekly wisdom: I better get used to new sensations every week. Otherwise, the doctor's office is going to get irritated with me for calling so much!
What I am looking forward to this week: Going to look for baby furniture. Just browsing! We aren't buying anything until I'm out of the first trimester.
