Week 9: The Olive


At nine weeks, me and Baby Woody have made two big accomplishments: I've made it to month three, and she's no longer an embryo: now she's a fetus. She's developing more distinct facial features and the essential body parts are accounted for. The heart finished dividing into four chambers and the valves start to form, as do the teeth! The embryonic tail is completely gone. The external sex organs are there. The eyes are fully formed, but the eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes. My uterus is now the size of a grapefruit!

As for me, my hormones have been totally stable this week (So far this pregnancy, I've had 2 hysterical melt downs). I've been able to continue running and or speed walking 2-3 miles a day. My pants are on the verge of not fitting anymore and I'm starting to freak out. This weekend I'm going to take out all clothes not suitable for maternity so it doesn't take me forever to get dressed in the morning. Isn't it too soon for maternity clothes??
