Week 9

Posted by Kate at 4:47 PM
So many exciting things!


Week 9 - baby is officially a fetus instead of an embryo!  Woo-hoo baby!  Baby is the size of a green olive (mmmm...).Baby's growing a liver, speen, and gallbladder this week.


We had our first doctor appointment today, and after sharing that I'm a little anxious to get going and have an ultrasound the nurse offered to have it done today!  Excited does not begin to describe!!  


I know it doesn't look like much yet (although pretty cute, I must say), but we have a head, little arm and leg buds, and a really fast heart!  (The fast heart is normal - it was 170 bpm, which is "presto" according to my metronome.)  It was pretty cool seeing the heart pumping away and seeing blood moving in the umbilical cord.  We were able to hear the heart too, which was pretty amazing.  


Wonderful day!  Here's the little jellybean's first photograph!  (Head's on the top in this shot.)
