About the size of a green olive this week :) Noelle goes back and forth between saying she wants a baby brother or baby sister. This week it is a baby sister.
I had an appt yesterday with Dr. T which was uneventful. We mostly chatted about our upcoming vacations to San Diego. My only concern so far is the sharp tailbone pain that has already made sitting, walking and laying down very uncomfortable. The same pain made my pregnancy with Noelle miserable about half way through to the end. I'm praying it doesn't get much worse. I'm also looking forward to the end of morning sickness, the fall because it's 105 degrees outside this week, and wearing cute (and comfortable) maternity clothes.
While your baby is still extremely small, he/she is now ready for rapid weight gain. The baby is beginning to look more like a little person since the embryonic tail is completely gone by week 9.- All the baby's joints such as the knees, elbows, shoulders, ankles, and wrists are working and allowing the baby to move about freely within the amniotic sac.
- Your baby's heart began beating around day 24, but now his/her heart has divided into four chambers, and the valves are beginning to develop.
- Your baby can also make a fist, and he/she may begin sucking his/her thumb.
- Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood.
- The sex organs are beginning to develop although not discernible until about 18-20 weeks.
