As the first trimester is coming to a close, I continue to be amazed at the miracle that is growing inside of me. Throughout this process, I can't help but be in awe over our wonderful Creator. (And some confusion about how anyone can believe in evolution.)
My doctors appointment was last Tuesday. The sound of the heartbeat still floods my ears. Usually for about a week after I hear the heartbeat everything is great and I'm not worried about the well-being of our child. But the next three weeks until the next appointment is terrifying! I almost bought a fetal doppler heart monitor to listen to the heartbeat whenever I wanted, but chose against it due to the fact that if there was a time when Baby Same was "hiding" and I couldn't find the heartbeat, I would unnecessarily freak out!
We won't find out the sex until sometime in early June. (bummer)
What I'm Experiencing This Week:
- Nausea (still, sometimes pretty bad)
- Headaches
- A little bit of excitement surrounding my growing tummy
- And all the other stuff mentioned previously, things haven't changed much.
***FUN FACTS ABOUT BABY THIS WEEK***
- Baby weighs 1/2 an ounce and is about 2.5 inches, the size of a nice lime.
- Baby’s digestive system in practicing contraction movements so he/she can eventually eat.
- Baby’s bone marrow is making white blood cells to fight off future infections.
- Baby’s intestines have almost completed their journey from where they have been growing in the umbilical cord to their permanent place in baby’s abdomen.
