Today, was our first doctor's appointment. Everything went great and it was so good to see our little baby!! The heartbeat was 168 bpm and we could start to see the little hand and feet buds. I am measuring 9 weeks and 1 day. Which moves the due date up to January 23, 2011. Since I will be having another c-section, the baby will probably be here around January 14th. For those of you who don't know, I needed a c-section with Deacon because he was too big for me. At 38 weeks, he was 8 lbs 3 oz. Pretty sure my doctor would have been right about him being a 9 lb baby, if he'd stayed until 41 weeks!! I'm hoping, this one won't be that big, but I will be happy either way :) I have this
link to old wives tales that I wanted to share. I used it when I was pregnant with Deke and there were 12 of these that were right about the sex!! So far, this time around it has been more girl myths that are true, but there have been some boy myths too. Hmmm... :)
Here's my little grape!! Awww, too cute!!
What's Happening This Week:
- He/she is about the size of a grape. Nearly an inch long!!
- It's little teeth start to form
- The heart finished dividing into four chambers and now the valve is starting to form
- The eyes are fully formed, but the eyelids are fused shut and will stay that way until around 27 weeks.
- It's mouth, nose and earlobes are more distinct this week.
and here's my first belly pic....
They say you start showing earlier with your second one. I'm starting to believe it!
Sorry about the ugly shadow in the picture. This was a self portrait, using a broken tripod (thanks Delta Airlines!) and not good lighting in the room. Hopefully, the following pictures will look much better.
Ok, ok! I can't post to my blog without a picture of the one who made me a Mommy!!
So innocent while he sleeps :) HA!
Time to get up, buttercup!!
Wishing I would stop taking his picture :)
