Weight: 121 lbs (eek I cracked the 120 mark!! never in my life!)
Total gain: 3 lbs
Here's where the baby is at now:
Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks.
We have our first OB prenatal appointment on Thursday. No more RE! Yay! I have definitely been feeling like crap. Haven't thrown up yet (although last night I was pretty darn close), but nausea is a given from 3pm on. Some nights more tolerable than others. But that's ok! Tells me baby is still in there and doing good things :)
Will post more after the appointment on Thursday!
i kid you not, i'm actually on the couch eating the rest of our grapes while i read this- ha! YAY for being 9 weeks already- you're less than a month away from the second tri, woohoo!
