9 Weeks

Hello all!

Made it to 9 weeks and now in week 10 already. (I didn't post any pics for week 8 because I didn't want to scare anyone. WOW, did some looking and sure was creepy.

Lets see what happened with the lil dude:
Length= a whole inch and weighs 1/8th of an ounce.....about the feel of a paper clip.

Development this week is a lot of little things but yet of course important. One I think is important is the head is attached to the rest of the body...formed and connected the neck, the intestines have moved out of the umbilical cord and into the stomach where they are supposed to be. Fingers and toes are present. He/she starts to develop muscles and is supposedly swimming around. Oh! and like I said before the tail is still shrinking and on its way out and the spine should be formed.

So lets see so far we have a lil dude that likes to swim, finally doesn't have a floating head and has lost it's tail. Pretty sweet improvement if ya ask me.

As far as I go I'm not nauseated that much anymore..actually barely ever unless I go more than 2 hours without eating. Got that going for me! My back and legs hurt which is odd and yet very annoying. But they say it's normal. Other than that things are going well.

Also we bought a crib and changing table last week. That was fun. I'll post pictures later when I do something with the decor if you will. First need to find out what we are having.

Names: So far we like Ava and Max. Ryan seems to think that we need his full name to be Maximus..But I say lets let the kid survive the playground eh!

So for now that will do..as you can see I finally took a picture of my stomach. No it's not a bump. That would be me being bloated and sucking it in as much as possible. Another little perk of being prego is before you start showing your basically bloated to about the size of 4 months along or so. SWEET! not.

Okay take care and see you soon.;-)
