I will find out today (hopefully) exactly how far along I am. So, at this point, we think we are at 9 weeks… I will let you know tomorrow.
What’s going on this week? Baby Price is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape or an olive— and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. It is starting to look more and more human. “It’s” essential body parts are accounted for, though they’ll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Our baby’s heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do his tiny teeth. The embryonic “tail” is completely gone. Baby’s organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but we won’t be able to distinguish as male or female for another few weeks.
Note:I take it back- I don’t wish I felt prego. Starting Saturday evening, the queasiness began. Today (Monday) I am feeling a little better but I think this is due to the Saltines that I have been steadily eating . Every single thing I think about eating is making me feel nauseous except for the thought of fruit snacks, bagels and crackers (not buttered crackers like Ritz, only Saltines). This is strange. I don’t know how I am going to make Ryan dinner if everything I look at, smell or see makes my stomach turn. Thank the Lord I have not thrown up yet. I HATE throwing up. Please Lord let this be the extent of my “morning sickness” ( though, mine is a 1pm-7pm kinda thing).
