8 Weeks

Today, baby is 8 weeks. I'm still feeling nauseous off and on with today being a good day, so far. Tomorrow is our first Dr.'s appointment complete with an ultrasound. I'm willing to take bets that I'm not as far along as they think I am. I bet I'm almost a full week behind what they originally said (ok 5 days.) Guess we'll see tomorrow.

Here are some belly pics of this week. Please ignore the hideously tight shirt. Mom suggested I wear something like this in pics to really show off my belly. Be careful what you ask for!

And here's what's going on with baby this week:

This week, your little tadpole is starting to look a little bit more human. Other exciting developments include:Your baby's eyelids, ears, upper lip and the tip of his soon-to-be adorable button nose are forming. Junior will also sprout webbed fingers and toes this week—which you'll be well aware of in a few months, as baby starts early gymnastics classes inside you.Baby's tiny heart has separated into four distinct chambers and is really ticking now—at a rate of 150 beats per minute. That's more than twice your resting heart rate (even when Brad Pitt is on the screen). Your baby is now a little more than ½ inch long, about the size of the rock in Eva Longoria's engagement ring, and is about as heavy as the check Tony Parker wrote to pay for it.
