So here is the first official picture of our baby. He or she is upside down ...it's ok if you cannot tell what end is what. The baby is about the size of a coffee bean right now. Seeing the baby on the ultrasound made this whole thing seem more real. We could actually see the little heart beating! It was beating really fast. It is still a little too early (8 weeks) to hear the heart beat, but it was still really cool. The doctor said that everything looked great, and that everything was going according to schedule. I was very relieved.
This week the baby's eyelids are forming, the nerve cells in the retinas are developing, the ears are forming, the brain is forming neural pathways, the trunk is getting longer, the arms and legs are getting longer, and the hands and feet are still a little webbed. The whole process is so amazing. I just can't believe that there is a little person forming inside me right now. Well, I can believe it when I feel nauseous and tired. I get overwhelmed sometimes when I think about how my life is never going to be the same, but I feel ready for life to not be all about me.

don't drink any beer katie, or acid, or nuclear waste. and don't eat poop. not because it's bad for the baby, because eating poop is just gross. thanks.

Katie,
She is gorgeous. (yes, I think the baby is a she--that is my gut feel right now. Did I tell you I have esp?) How were the salt/vinegar fries? Ever tried pickled ocra? Whenever I passed through the area in the grocery store that had the olives and pickles, etc. my mouth would start to water ucontrollably...I had to laugh at my situation...a grown woman drooling and slurping my way down the isle. Nice.
