You are 9 weeks along now! Only 4 more until the 1st trimester is done!
Baby Changes:
You are about the size of a grape this week, sweet pea. You weigh a fraction of an ounce. Your essential body parts are accounted for. Your heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form. Your tiny teeth are also starting to form. Your embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your organs, muscles, and nerves are starting to really work now. Your external sex organs formed but we won't be able to distinguish them as male or female for several more weeks. Mommy and daddy won't find out until 20 weeks. Your eyes are fully formed, but your eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. You have tiny earlobes, and your mouth, nose, and nostrils are becoming more distinct. You should start gaining weight more quickly now.

Movement: Obviously nothing yet.
Sleep: I am still tired a lot of the time but it is easing up a bit. I am not quite as tired as I was but definitely still feeling the tiredness.
Symptoms: NAUSEA! Yuck. It seems as though right now it is coming pretty much daily. Nights are usually work than days but it comes in waves.
Daddy update: Daddy is doing great. He helps me a lot with Brody and things around the house. He is patient with me on the many nights I just sit and don't want to move and/or fall asleep early.
News:
