Week 9

Here is the update for week 9! starting today. i have some pictures from audreys birthday and Candys new baby, but they are on audreys camera, and im not sure where that is. so i will try to get them up soon!
How your baby's growing: Your new resident is nearly an inch long — barely the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce, but he's poised for rapid weight gain now that his basic physical structure is in place. He's also starting to look more and more human. His embryonic "tail" is now completely gone and his body parts — including organs, muscles, and nerves — are kicking into gear.

His eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. He has earlobes, and by week's end, the inner workings of his ears will be complete. His upper lip is fully formed, too, and his mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The tips of his fingers are slightly enlarged where his touch pads are developing. All major joints — his shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles — are working, enabling your baby to move his limbs. As for his heart, it has divided into four chambers now, and the valves have started to develop. External sex organs are there, but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks.

Week 8

How your baby's growing: Your baby is now 5/8 of an inch long, about the size of a kidney bean. She's constantly moving and shifting, although you won't be able to feel these womb wiggles for several weeks yet. Her embryonic tail is disappearing, and her eyelids practically cover her eyes. Still slightly webbed, her fingers and toes are growing longer. Her arms have lengthened, too, and her hands are now flexed at the wrist and meet over her heart. Her knee joints have formed, and her feet may be long enough to meet in front of her body. With her trunk straightening out, her head is more erect. Breathing tubes extend from her throat to the branches of her developing lungs. The nerve cells in her brain are also branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. Though you may be daydreaming about your baby as one gender or another, the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl.
sorry, i couldnt get the picture up.

Oh baby!

Here are the first pictures ever taken of the baby. they are not so clear becuse i had to take a picture of the picture, and it was already a little blurry because the doctor zoomed in so we could see better, but that made it a little fuzzy. the baby was 14 mm for this picture,taken at 7 weeks 5 days. now i am 8 weeks 1 day. you can't see it in this picture, but on the screen we could see the heart beat as a flashing light... the baby is the little cluster you see at the botton of that kidney bean shaped sack.

OUr yard!

Hey here is some pictures of our yard! the ones with the grass are of our backyard.

One Fine Day!!!.

SO. today was a great day. and i mean it! it has been a long time since i have had a day THIS good. and i dont mean that like i never have good days, i do. but today was just one of those nearly perfect days. i woke up this morning...and nothin too special yet. so i went to school...that wasnt anything extraordinary either. it all started when i had my first client. antoher student named Jill. so after her facial, she gave me a $10 tip!!! WAHOO! thats a GREAT tip. $2-3 is average. so you see why i was so excited.. then i made $2 more dollars on an eye brow wax, so that was kinda nice. then i had my doctors appointment, my first one ever for pregnancy!!! so they did the regular exam and that, and thats never really my favorite thing, but then after that, they did an ultra sound!!! the first thing the doctor said was "there is the sack, you are defitely pregnant!" wow!! i have a water sack! then he zoomed in, and you could see this little tiny cluster, and that was the baby, it was a little blurry because it was zoomed in, but you could see a little Heart light. WOW! a heart beat!! that means the baby is alive and well! and there is only one;). but it is 14 milimeters long i believe. they said i was 7 weeks 5 days. so i think the internet place i was looking at was about a week ahead of where i am, they calculated from the 1st day of last period, and my doctor calculates from when you actually concieve or something like that.. maybe a week before. anyways, so im almost 8 weeks, on saturday. and then he printed out the picture of the baby, we got 3!! (pictures). i am going to try to get them up here. so then i got home, and it was like Christmas all over again! the Chassis for my stroller came! so i got that all assembled! it looks really cool. then my mom sent me an awesome package!!! some materniy clothes, a baby outfit, and money!!! thank you mom!! and maaret sent me another AWESOME package!! a crib set that is SO CUTE< maaret its PERFECT!!!! i love it!! i love all that i got today!! and maaret sent me that stroller accessories. and the crib set is so awesome, i love all the accessories for it!! and then i got to go to enrichment night with audreys ward, audrey talked on spiritual preparedness, she did awesome. very good message. and they had the funniest dinner, you had to circle things like "rock, dump truck or pipe" and then it was funny to see what you ended up with. some people didnt end up with any plate, no fork ect, it was funny. anyways, we are going to finish the March of the Penguins

Doctors appt...

Hey, i have my first doctors appt tomarrow...whoohoo! i am not sure entirely what to expect. but i hope its cool! i would really like to have an ultra sound or something or hear the heartbeat, but i doubt i will get that... maybe the heartbeat. im 8 weeks. will be 9 weeks on saturday. so thats exciting. things seem to be going well. i've been tired, and its been hard to find food i want... but no throwing up or anything. so im glad about that. tonight we went to cracker barrel with audrey and the kids and her foster daugher Candy and her mom , stepdad and brother. its nice, i like that for the kids menu they have "FOR KIDS OF ALL AGES!" thats the way it oughta be. none of this under 10 stuff. because one portion of kids mac n cheese filled me up just fine! and its like $2. thats nice... with the cornbread. so, and we went to target, and audrey got a bunch of stuff for the baby, and i got some bottles that were on sale. very cool. i love shopping for baby things. so anyways, well i better get going. i've got to throw my laundry in... oh and my friend Tamra learned how to do eyelash extentions, and she gave me some ! she's got to finish them, but they look so real. she actually attaches them to each individual eyelash, so they looks SO natural. just makes you lookk like you have nice long eyelashes. i'll have to take a picture when she finishes them, right now they are just sort of on the corners of my eyes, looks good. Well, catch ya lata!

Candy

Hey, i bet everybody has been anxious to meet candy. so i posted a picture , well two, of her, we took them about a week ago. i swear her belly is bigger since then. its so cute, it just pops right out. well, i gotta go.

Sittin on the Dock of a bay.....

so, nothin really exciting has been going on. truly. i feel like right now my life is in a boring sort of rut. and thats why i dont post so much. nothing to post. i'd be wasting your time.i go to school everyday of the week, from 7:30-3:30 im gone , at the same place EVERYDAY mind you.then i come home, take a nap, watch some seinfeld or something, eat dinner, and not too much else. sometimes some missionary stuff. thats fun. but im really excited for when i am done with school, and for when the baby is finally born. we have had some sort of excitment around here, at least something different. candy, audreys new foster daughter, is staying with us. she is really nice, pretty quiet, and is due for a baby boy soon. she really doesnt have anything to do at our house but watch tv, i wish we had a more exciting weekend this weekend, but audreys out of town, and we just dont have much planned. which has been sort of nice, just to relax. i have a test on physiology and anatomy on monday, so i need to study for that. we looked at some model homes today, thats always sort of fun, and dan got a couple little new plants at home depot. took a nice nap today... tomarrow i think i will make potatoe cheese caserole. nothing much has sounded really good, and after i do eat, i have been feeling sort of blah... i wish i could find something that sounded good. but oh well. i took maarets advice today and ate an orange. well,thats about it! hopefully something exciting will happen soon. i mean being pregnant is exciting, im 7 weeks now. but right now i cant feel the baby kick, or anything near like that. im basicaly just tired, and food doesnt sound that good. but other than that, i feel good. no throwing up and all that. Well. i will try to post more okay mare? cya later~
