9 Weeks!!

Please pardon the new day. Apparantly since the babe is measuring a couple of days ahead and because the doctor says so, my new due date is 9/6/2010 which puts the new weeks on Mondays. I am okay with that because it means I'm farther than I thought, lol.

How Far Along: 9 weeks!!!
Total Weight Gain: Still hoping for 0, still need to buy a scale.
Maternity Clothes: Just a Be-Band, but haven't used it yet.
Sleep: Great! Last night I slept from 7:30pm-5:45am. Bliss.
Best Moment This Week: Seeing the baby on an ultrasound last Thursday, heart beating away!! <3
Movement: None
Gender: I feel girl this week. hah, we'll see!
Labor Signs: None, thankfully!
Belly Button in or out: In
What I miss: Getting to work on time- still. I wake up over an hour before I have to leave, and even shower the night before. I just can't get moving. I have to eat very slowly and just lay around. Ugh.
What I'm Looking Forward to: My 12 week appt on Feb 25!
Weekly Wisdom: Step away from Google.
Milestones: 9 weeks which also means my placenta is starting to take over more and more! YAY!

What the babe is up to:
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. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain.
