8 Weeks Today
So im 8 weeks pregnant today and feeling ok. I have had some morning sickness but not super bad. I have gained my energy back but I do get tiered fast. Crazy thing I just read is my uterus has went from a size of a fist to the size of a grapefruit. Baby is the size of a raspberry. The baby is growing like crazy putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Baby is moving those little arms, legs and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy. His wrists, elbows, and ankles are visible on an ultrasound now (with some help from your eagle-eyed technician, of course) and this week your baby may even be able to start flexing them! Your baby's delicate facial features are becoming more refined now, with his ears, upper lip, and the teeny tip of his nose all clearly visible. His eyelids will also take shape for the first time this week (the eyes, which now have pigment in them, will appear open until the lids have finished growing in a few weeks' time). Finally, your baby's key internal organs continue to develop, most notably his heart, which grows stronger by the day. My next appointment is Friday and cant wait to see what they say but doesnt look like ill be getting a ultrasound but we will see.
