Going fast and yet soooo soooo sooo slow!

Pregnancy week:    10

Child length:    0.8-1.6 in
Child weight:    approx. 0.09 oz
At this stage:    Membrane between fingers and toes disappears. Tooth buds are formed.

In the tenth week of pregnancy, we bid farewell to the embryo and welcome the fetus. In the 10th week, the child has all the organs that are required for further existence. Lungs, kidneys, liver, brain and heart work and grow and are in full swing. The organs will of course develop and change over time, but no new ones will be formed. All organs already exist. You slowly move to the stage when you cannot fasten your clothes and 3/4 of your closet contents turn out to be useless. It's time to look for maternity clothes. The web, which was formed between the child's fingers in the 7th week, is now disappearing. Tooth buds are formed.

8/17/11- I am still so scared to really think about having a baby. I am still so scared of something going wrong. I wish I could have an ultrasound and see him every day. I love you Peanut. Grow strong!
8/20/11- I had some spotting last night and it really scared me. seriously! I called the doctor and he said everything seemed fine and only to worry if it gets much worse or is painful. I ended up telling my cousin Jessica about you. She is the one who had a baby die last fall and then right after had a miscarraige. She is so strong. I love you peanut. Grow strong!
8/23/11- Second day of actual teaching yesterday went well. I am making a life for us peanut. please grow and be strong.

New BABY!!!

No not mine! LOL I still have a long, long time before this little one is ready to make his debut.  My really good friend Polly Rose and her husband Fred just had their second baby this morning.  He doesn't have a name yet.  I am sure it will be something crazy unique!  Their first son is FredDeeian Growler Tucker (Ian).  He sure is a cutey!! He looks just like his brother Ian. I can't wait to meet him.

8lbs 8 oz. 21 1/2 inches long

Exciting week!!

Pregnancy week:    9

Child length:    approx. 1 in
Child weight:    approx. 0.04 oz
At this stage:    Eyes are covered with eyelids. Ears move sideways. The baby begins to move.

Pregnancy goes on, and you are changing together with the child. You begin to look for a larger bra, as your breasts are still getting bigger (and it will be so until the delivery). You lose a waistline. You cannot fasten tight skirts and pants. You still have some time until you buy maternity clothes, but you can start looking for some pants. If you carry a boy, his penis, testicles and seminal vesicles are just growing. The embryo more and more resembles a human being. Eyes are covered with eyelids, ears are moving sideways. Neck starts to be visible. Baby has began movement.

8/16/11- I have been very busy but every spare second is spent thinking of you. I love you peanut. Today I get to see you! In just one hour I will be bat the doctor and he will do an ultrasound. I am so excited. I am going to go get ready!

Sitting at the doctors right now. minutes away from seeing you. I am soooo nervous peanut. Please be strong and healthy. I love you so much already and even though it doesnt seem possible it doubles everyday. I love my sweet pea!

Oh my goodness that was amazing. everything looked so perfect. i got to see your tiny heart beating. You are so perfect and the dr said everything is healthy and beautiful. I cant believe you are really in there! I love you even more.

First Baby Pictures!!

I had an ultrasound today for the first time. It was soo cool! I can't believe there is actually something in there. I got to see his/her little heart and hear it beat. It was so awesome.  I can't wait until the next one when I get to see if it is a boy or a girl!  Not for at least 7 more weeks! Torture!

Baby growing!

Pregnancy week:    8

Child length:    0.3-0.7 in
Child weight:    approx. 0.02 oz
At this stage:    The middle ear and vestibular system are developing. Eyelids are formed. Bones replace cartilage - spine and ribs begin to form.

If you like bungee jumping and falling in general, the child will suffer a fall as well. The time to set martial arts and extreme sports aside. If you are bursting with energy - swim, swim and swim again. Take turns with long marches. Show respect to Nordic walking - with a clear conscience, you can spend all your money on the poles. You start to gain weight. By the end of pregnancy your weight will increase by an average of 12 kg. Middle ear is formed, and the labyrinth. Eyelids are formed. Bones begin to form - spine and ribs.

8/5/11- It has been a weeks since I last wrote. I love you peanut. I went rafting this week for work. It was kind of fun at times. But I spent most of the time scared something would happen to you. I love you sweetheart. Every night before I fall asleep I put my hand on my belly and whisper: "I love you Peanut. Please grow and be strong."
I am starting to feel uncomfortable in my pants. I know i shouldnt be this early and it concerns me. I want to ask the doctor about it. Only 10 days until I get to see the baby.
8/6/11- Hey Peanut, today I didnt eat very healthy and i am definately feeling it. I will start eating healthier for you baby. I am going to get on a plan and exercise too. It is hard to do but if I cant make changes for you I can't make changes for anyone.

Sleepy sleepy

Pregnancy week:    7

Child length:    approx. 0.4 in
Child weight:    approx. 0.01 oz
At this stage:    Fingers begin to appear. Forebrain and midbrain are developing. Eye primordia are formed.

Your life can go on quite normally. If you have already consulted your gynecologist you are certainly aware of the monthly check-up visits until the delivery time. Your doctor has probably made up your pregnancy card or will do it soon. Enjoy your life! You're a healthy woman, and your body is in full swing. If you practice sport, this is the period to achieve the best results. However, use your common sense. Your child's health is now the most important, thus you always need to consult a doctor. The embryo already has fingers, but they are connected by... a web. The brain develops forebrain, midbrain and hindbrain. Eye primordia are formed, so far without eyelids.

7/27/11- It is five in the morning and I can't sleep. I am so scared of loosing you peanut. I love and want you so bad. Please be strong and grow. Please father help him grow and be healthy. I love him so much already.
7/28?11- I had my first momma bear instinct moment today. They were talking at work about how one of the girls had kicked a staff in the stomach. I thought if anyone tried that with me and hurt my baby boy I would kick their ass! I am falling in love with my peanut. I want him so bad. i felt fine today. Just peeing a lot and I canMt stand the thought of eating hamburger. It makes me want to puke! lol
7/30/11- I really need to find a new job. My current job at the girls home is too dangerous while pregnant. There is too much risk of a violent restraint. I have looked all morning and I can't find much on the Job service site. I have a few leads. I will look into them. I need to get a current resume typed up. I am doing everything I can for you peanut.
