Mood: sleepy
Cravings: water
Mornings sickness: mild
I am now eight weeks into my pregnancy. My first doctor's appointment is this Thursday and I'm excited and nervous at the same time. And I'm so glad that Rob will be coming with me. Going alone would be tough, especially since this is the first appointment, but Rob has made it clear to me he'll go to every doctor's appointment and that he wants to be experience everything with me.
My dreams have gotten crazy too. The only one I can remember was over the weekend and it was with all my family. First, my cousin Sean who is a consul down in Panama, Central America for the US government, was the focal point of my dream - why? I have no idea. Anyway, my dream was that he tried smuggling monkeys who were a carrier of some disease into Panama to save them from something. But the government caught him and he was arrested. So the whole family and I buy tickets to Panama and we're all excited to see Sean and get a look at the country even though he's been arrested for a serious crime. We get there, we attend his court hearings - and in the dream he is pimped out like James Bond, which he SO isn't in real life - and he gets committed to the slammer for life because he knew better than to try to smuggle in monkeys since he worked for the government. And that's all I remember.
But I thought it was really weird that of everything he tried smuggling into Panama, it was monkeys. But I guess that's why it's a dream and not reality.
And here's what's going on with the little munchkin in my belly:
-The smaller details like eyelids, ears, nose and upper lips are starting to take definite shape. And now those four buds spreading out from the body will be developing fingers and toes.
-The heart has separated into four chambers and is beating at an estimated 150 beats per minute.
-Ossification (hardening) of the bones set in as elbow and knee joints develop.
-The baby is about 1/2 an inch long.
-The sex of the baby becomes more promanent, but not noticeable on an ultrasound.
-The tongue is developing
-The intestines move from the umbilicle cord into the abdomen of the baby.
And with all this growth I have got to take my prenatals. The last few days I've lost my routine and I've forgotten to take it the night before and last night. Which isn't good - so I need to ask the doc how bad is it to miss a day's serving of prenatal vitamins. Hopefully it won't be too bad. And really, I've kept a good diet so far with the pregnancy. So I don't think I'm missing out too badly on nutrients, but I still don't like the fact that I've forgotten on 2 occasions. We'll see what Dr. Hansen (my OBGYN) will say.

I also added a little ticker to the blog that shows a count-down of how long the baby has for gestation and it shows a picture of what the baby looks like. Also, the picture below is a life-size "doll" of what the baby looks like in comparison to the palm of the hand. My Little One is so tiny!
