How Far Along: Today I am 9 weeks along. Due date September 4th, 2013.
Baby's Size: Baby is size of a green olive! Little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. And 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!
Symptoms: Just yesterday heartburn started kicking in. Ugh! I certainly didn't miss that! Nausea, low grade fevers, mild headaches, complete exhaustion, lightheadedness/dizzy spells, some crazy emotions(I find myself crying at stupid commercials on tv) and some mild cramping.
Food Cravings: Just this morning I had a craving for caramel apples! Yummmm!!
What I'm Excited About: Our next doctor's appointment!!!! We get to hear the baby's heartbeat for the first time! That's ALWAYS exciting!! :) AND 2nd trimester!!!!!!
Something I've done to Prepare for Baby: Nothing this week.
Weight Gain: Pre-pregnancy weight: 120lbs Today's weight: 116lbs. Lost 1 pound since last week.
Gender: Still thinking girl. Especially since heartburn has officially roared its ugly head.
Maternity Clothes: Not quite yet. But I think within the next few weeks they will make their way back into my closet.
