9 Week Today!!

Time is going by pretty fast. I think to myself wow I just found out 5 weeks ago.

About Baby...
baby Firecracker is now 1 to 1 1/4 inches long and about the size of a medium green ovlive. The arm's and legs have gotten longer. Arms now flex at sholder, elbow and wrist. Fingers are longer and the tips are slightly enlarged where touch pads are developing. The head is more straight and the neck is more developed. Eyelids almost cover the eyes. Ears are evident and well formed. Baby now moves it's body and arms and legs. (That's so cool!) Baby now looks more like a human but is still so small!

How am I feeling...
Still pretty good. Besides being tired alot. Still drinking water like a camel.

How's Derrick feeling... I've noticed some stress in his face the last couple of days. I'm not sure if it is work related or if he just needs some extra attention. We are going for our first sonogram next Thursday. He is off that day and I think I gonna take that day off too. Just to spend extra time with just him.

Things to ask my Dr....I'm wanting to know if the hospital will bank the blood from the cord. So that I can donate it.

Things to do this week... get Liz ready for school by going through her closet.

Special thoughts or feelings... I been thinking a lot about the baby. As far as how much it has grown and all the little details forming.

Crazy dreams... I had one scary dream that I had a miscarrage. I think every prego mom dreams this at least once.

Other hints for Pregos... For morning sickness my pregnant Dr. told me to take B-12.
They are also showing that it is good to take Omega3/ fish oil. It is good for the baby's brain development.
