9 Weeks!

Baby is the size of a: Green olive.

Development: Baby is almost an inch long now and this week has officially left "embryo" stage for "fetus" stage--which means that all major organs are now formed and from here out will be growing and developing. Facial features are beginning to form, too.

Weight gain: Lost a couple more pounds, so I'm down five.

Maternity clothes: Nope.

Sleep: Decent, I guess.

Morning sickness: Mostly evening sickness, and it's NO FUN.

Aversions/cravings: Pretty much no change on this front. No cravings, really, but lots of aversions--to pretty much everything except fruit. I'm eating fruit like nobody's business. Still can't handle meat.

Bump: Nah. Just some bloat. Lovely.

Symptoms: Nausea. Constipation. Skin breaking out. Ah, the magic of pregnancy.

I miss: Oh, how I miss enjoying food--the meal-planning, shopping, cooking...smelling it, eating it. Um, I also miss being able to poop. (TMI? Yeah. Well, it's the truth, y'all.)

I feel: Pretty gross. But also excited and happy.

Looking forward to: Next appointment in three weeks, which will be the 12-week mark.

Daddy moment: Alex has gotten to where every morning he tells both me and the baby goodbye, and then texts me at some point during the day to say, "How are my bebes?" or "I miss you two" or something to that effect. Cute.

Misc./other highlights: We had our second ultrasound Tuesday (7/16), and Baby looks great! Here he is:

He/she is still measuring three days ahead of pace (so 9 weeks, 4 days...which makes him technically a Valentine's Day baby. Sweet.) Heartbeat was strong at 168 beats per minute. We could see his arms and legs, and he was even wiggling around...dancing? :)
