Yesterday marked my 9 weeks of being pregnant. I'm really debating on starting to take pictures. I think what's getting the biggest are my breast! And I don't need bigger ones. I'm TMI, sorry. So I think I will start maybe next week with pictures.
My baby is about an inch long, about the size of a grape, and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. My baby's heart is finishing dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form - as do his/her tiny teeth. Her organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear and the external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. The placenta is developed enough now to take overmost of the critical job of produing hormones. Now that my baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain. Yeah, I can't wait!
I still haven't had any sickness, not that I'm complaining but sometimes I can't even tell I'm pregnant and that scares me sometimes but I know everything is fine in there. I have been kind of moody lately, just ask my husband, I kind of freaked out on him Monday when I got home from Jazzercise, supper wasn't started andI was starving! I felt bad after I kind of freaked out. Sorry sweetie. We made a delicious homemade pizza.
Tomorrow will start my first day back teaching at Jazzercise. I'm pretty excited and nervous all at the same time. I will only be doing 2 days. Monday and Friday mornings at 5:45am. Friday is all muscle work so I can control how much weight I use and Monday's will be low impact aerobics. Everything I've read and I've talked to my doctor and they said that its great to exercise throughout your pregnancy just listen to your body and that's what I'm going to do.
The most exciting thing that I've been doing lately is rubbing my belly while I'm laying in bed. I've also read that I should start a daily ritual to connect with my baby and I've been doing this since our egg transfer back in July. I will just lay there and rub and pray and talk to my baby, it's so relaxing and a great way to start the bonding process and to help me plan for the kind of parent I want to be.
