Week nine and momma is feelin okay. Tired, but well, it's to be expected. Besides who doesn't love an afternoon nap? My appetite is back, well, mostly and I'm definately eating for two these days. I find myself waking up - VERY early with hunger pains... and eating throughout the whole day. Constantly wanting more food. So, for my snacks in between I try to eat lots of good stuff like fruits and yogurt. I had THE best seedless Sunkist orange yesterday, seriously, it was the most delicious orange I've had in forever... so I went back to big y today and bought some more, they were just that good, besides oranges have vitamin c and folic acid... all super for the peanut! Still finicky about certain foods and smells.... and nauseauted from time to time... but i'm dealing, and it's well worth it!
As far as lil peanut goes well, she's about an inch in size, weighs about one gram and she has all the major organs, muscles and nerves. It's truly amazing - last week elbows and lips.. this week organs! Eyelids are beginning to form and the trunk is straightening and elongating. It's wonderful, my lil peanut is growing each day.
I'm anxiously awaiting her arrival.... ! Only 31 more weeks!

Week 8
Today I’m entering into week eight of my pregnancy. I must admit - week 7 was better than week 6, where I found myself nauseauted by the smell of everything, and the thought of food - even stuff I loved... like red pasta sause - now I despise the thought of it and the smell of it. I do however love my mac & cheese, tons of salads, yogurt, fruits and my meats. I’m trying my hardest to eat healthy - it’s just sometimes difficult when I don’t have an appetite for anything.
My body is changing, body parts are growing, and because of the growth comes some growing pain. :) I’ll spare you the details, but lets just say my body is getting ready for this lil peanut. Oh and lets not forget about the breakouts on my face - gee, thanks peanut, for all those extra hormones. :)
As for my baby’s development, we had our first Ultrasound on April 1st, Doc says everything looks great - It was definately reality as we saw the lil heartbeat flutter on the screen, mark and I couldn’t be happier. As I enter into week eight exciting changes are now happening inside, my baby can bend her arms, thanks to new elbows. Her upper lip has also formed and the external ear has just about finished developing. All soo wonderful!
According to the doc, our due date is November 18.
Next appointment is scheduled for the 29th of April.
