week 9 I'm craving grapes



Your baby is about the size of a grape, measuring a little over 1 ½ inches (1.67) from its head to its rump, and weighs a fraction of an ounce.*

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. The eyelids are fully formed, have fused shut, and will open again during week 28.
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.

How I feel:
like I'm going to be sick, but it's worth it. I love reading about baby, and getting ready for Christmas. My pants are getting tighter, I need to start looking for Maternity cloths.

Craving:
Not much cause I feel sick, fruit, this week it's baby grape, which is weird because I'm really craving grapes, I think I will bring some to small group tonight. Salt! Cereal, and other mild foods.

Shawn:
We were talking about being parents and Shawn's thoughts were awesome, I love how he wants to be honest if he makes a mistake with his kids. He has done a great job of taking care of me this weekend as I'm feeling not my best.
