Hello! Karen here..I just wanted to say thanks to everyone for all of the kind words and comments. Thanks for the support!! Also I just wanted to clear up a little something...the picture of the baby on the right, it's generic...that's not THE baby, and yeah, they are THAT developed by this point! Crazy! And I quote from www.whattoexpect.com;
"Your baby's growth is fast and furious now. He or she is nearly an inch and a half long and the size of a prune, but not nearly as shriveled (even with all the time it spends in water). In fact, your baby is really taking a human shape now. Bones and cartilage are forming, and small indentations on the legs are developing into knees and ankles. The arms (complete with elbows) can flex already, but don't run to the store for a baseball bat just yet. Though your baby's arms are taking shape and getting stronger, each one is only about the size of this number 1. The tooth bud fairy is making her appearance this week, heralding the arrival of your baby's little choppers, which are forming under the gums. (Those pearly whites won't break through the gums until your baby is close to six months old). Other systems are go, too. Your baby's stomach is producing digestive juices, the kidneys are producing larger quantities of urine, and, if your baby's a boy, he's already producing testosterone (yikes!)."Hey look! This blog is also educational! And now to answer some FAQs
How are you feeling? Tired! Tired tired and more tired!!
Do you have morning sickness? I'm really sick (HAHA!) of the term morning sickness because personally that's my best time of day! It's either at night or when I get hungry that makes me nauseous, but no puking (thank goodness!)
Are you craving pickles and ice cream? Honestly I think Bill is craving ice cream more than I am HAHA! Anywho, Nope! No cravings or aversions really...maaaybe for those $1 chicken sandwiches at fast food joints but that's a stretch and it's nothing that I HAVE to have. Mainly I've just been all over the easy and fast food purely because I'm too dang tired to make anything!
So I'll stop rambling for now...thanks again for all of the support!!!
