9 Weeks Pregnant! (Grape Week)

How far along? 9 Weeks (Friday, July 27, 2012)

The baby is the size of a: Grape

New baby developments this week: "Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. 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" (BabyCenter).

Total weight gain: Not much

Maternity clothes? Nope

Stretch marks? Nope

Sleep: Yep!

Best moment this week: Actually having a successful ultrasound this past Monday! It was so amazing to see the baby's heart beating and to hear the rapid heartbeat. What an amazing view! I can't believe this little being is growing inside of me! How amazing and miraculous!

Miss Anything? Nope, not really! Movement/Feelings: No drastic feelings! Sometimes I experience a little discomfort when I lift things for too long of periods, but otherwise, I'm fine.

Food cravings: Salsa....and anything else tomato-based, like ketchup!

Anything making you queasy or sick: Nope!

Symptoms: None! (No frequent bathroom trips yet)

Gender: I don't know yet...but I'm still thinking it will be a girl

Labor Signs: Nope!

Belly Button in or out? In

Wedding rings on or off? On

Happy or Moody most of the time: Happy!

Looking forward to: Continuing to grow and get past the first trimester!
