I realize I'm behind. We've been busy studying for national board exams and doing school work. I've also just been trying to deal with my anxiety the best way I can so working on my updates has taken a back seat. After I can get some confirmation that everything is going well I'll be better.
How Far Along: 9 Weeks 6 Days
Total Weight Gain/Loss: I weighed in at 188 this morning.
Maternity Clothes: I’m wearing maternity pants and some of
my regular pants with my Bella Band.
Stretch Marks: The originals from Gracie
Sleep: Good as long as I’m medicated. My dreams are getting
really strange but I guess that’s ok as long as
I’m sleeping
Movement: Me constantly getting up to pee.
Food Cravings and Aversions: Loving chocolate chip cookies
and ramen noodles lately. Bacon bits haven’t tasted good but not much has
bothered me this week.
Gender: I just want a healthy baby.
Belly Button In or Out: In
Labor Signs: No thank you
What I Miss: Peace of mind
What I Am Looking Forward To: I’m going to the doctor
tomorrow and I’m not sure what to expect with a new doctor and building.
Weekly Wisdom: Sometimes getting blunt helps you when it
comes to getting your health care. I’m not proud of getting rude but I finally
have insurance.
Best Moment This Week: The victory of finally being able to
make a doctor appointment and not having a long wait.
What's Going On In The Uterus This Week
Baby at 8 Weeks
- You can't feel it yet, but she's moving those arms and legs like crazy!
- Her fingers and toes are now only slightly webbed, and her tail (yes, she had one) is gone.
- Your baby's taste buds are now forming.
Baby at 9 Weeks
- This is a milestone. She's no longer an embryo -- now she's a fetus!
- She's developing more distinct facial features.
- And she might now have a strong enough heartbeat to be picked up by a fetal doppler.
