Eight Weeks and Three days, With 221 days to go
THE BABY;
Your baby's facial features and overall development this week undergo remarkable growth. The area of the brain that controls muscle movement is forming. The baby's elbows are now present and baby teeth are now developing in the gums.
Other changes that are happening:
* The internal and external ears are beginning to develop.
* The upper lip is forming.
* A pigment is present in the retina.
* Digital rays are forming in the hand plate that will eventually become hands and fingers.
Baby's Size this week: .5 to .75 of an inch
Right now your baby is about the size of a kidney bean.
As For Me;
Well Mostly Im just throwing up a lot, and its not just in the morning. Its all day. My mom says that she never really got sick with any of us kids.....so its kinda odd that Ive got all day sickness as bad as I do. Luckily I have a great boss, that doesnt get upset about me spending a third of my shifts in the bathroom. I weighed myself the day I found out I was pregnant and Ive gained at least 4 pounds and 2 inches on my waist. Unfortunately because I have to stand all day for work Ive also gained some varicose vaines already. But I guess with great blessings comes great sacrifice. For those who dont know, I gave up smoking and caffine the day I found out I was pregnant..Its hell, but 9 months of suffering is nothing compared to a lifetime of good health for a child.
As For Jason;
Excited and Terrified....I would just like to say that so far he has been just awesome, and so good to me. When I start throwing up he starts fixing me the stuff that helps calm my stomach (like ckicken broth and bagels). Hes stopped racing the car around the mountain curves, and as Im puking into a bucket I carry with me all the time, hes just tells me hes sorry I feel bad and the sickness will be over soon. He's even been reading my pregnancy books. I feel very fortunate to be with such a great man, and Im certain he'll be an excellent Father.
