Week 9

I got a body pillow for Mother's day! haha, I don't think I'll be needing it for a while, but it's pretty comfy.
Lately I just can't finish a meal, I can only eat a small portion unless I am totally starving, otherwise I start to feel kind of sick, although I get hungry again in just a couple of hours. This made me drop a few pounds in the last week or two, which I really don't mind. I am pretty sure in just a few weeks I'll be gaining all of that back and more! Something to look forward to. :) Another thing to look forward to is our Cancun trip that we just booked with our friends in the 3rd week of July. This will be our last vacation for a while, so definitely something to enjoy.

Week 9 development:
Your new resident is nearly an inch long — barely the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce, but he's poised for rapid weight gain now that his basic physical structure is in place. He's also starting to look more and more human. His embryonic "tail" is now completely gone and his body parts — including organs, muscles, and nerves — are kicking into gear.

His eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. He has earlobes, and by week's end, the inner workings of his ears will be complete. His upper lip is fully formed, too, and his mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The tips of his fingers are slightly enlarged where his touch pads are developing. All major joints — his shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles — are working, enabling your baby to move his limbs. As for his heart, it has divided into four chambers now, and the valves have started to develop. External sex organs are there, but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks.
