THE END OF MONTH 2……
I made through my first two months of pregnancy. I am 9 weeks today and starting my third month. So what did our lovely little baby accomplish in it’s 8 week of development?
WHAT’S HAPPENING WITH OUR BABY….
Our baby’s head is quite big, due to the rapid growth of the brain. The upper limbs resemble paddles. Our baby-to-be’s heart began to separate into four chambers, and blood is circulating throughout the body. Intestines formed within the umbilical cord, but will later migrate back into the abdominal cavity. Foot plates, with the beginnings of toe rays, have appeared. The external ears are now present. Our baby is now 10 to 13 millimeters long — about the size of a cherry. The cells that will become either testes or ovaries arrive, but there is no obvious sign of gender yet. Muscle contractions are now evident, but these early “movements” are not yet perceptable.
WHAT IS HAPPENING WITH ME…………
Still feeling a little tired, but better. Nausea is starting to improve a bit as well. I have had to switch to loose clothes due to discomfort. ARGH!! I have trouble with indigestion and constipation.
Congrats again & glad to hear that everything is going well. Isn’t it great to know that all you have to do is sit in a chair, and your body is all the while making a baby? (Did that come out right?)
Hi there! Glad to see things are going well! Here’s a link to an ultrasound picture of our baby around 3 months… http://www.geocities.com/nlknight25/ultrasound.html
I will be 37 weeks on Monday, so the little feller has grown quite a bit since. 🙂
That sweet, little growing baby is such a miraculous thing. Just wait!! The best part is coming, when you first feel those little butterfly movements!! I am very happy for you. Take care…:-)
*hugs*
Congrats!!!! I’m just about 8 weeks right now 😀
