8 weeks

Wow! I have 1 whole inch of baby in me!!!! My little one is growing so fast! It's tail (spine) is almost gone and it's eyelids are almost fully complete. The major systems have been created they just need some fine tuning and the lungs still need to develop. I found out something kind of gross... the baby's kidneys begin to work this week ... meaning they will begin to pee this week... ewwww! But that is a part of life.. I guess.... I think I will be more grossed out the week they start drinking the amniotic fluid that they peed in lol.

I am still not sick but I am having a hard time sleeping; I am getting up 2-4 times a night then struggling to get comfortable. I am also having strong food aversions. Some days I don't even want food or to think about food. I also get an idea of one single food from a single source (ie. mashed potatoes from Boston Market) and if it's the same food but not from the right source then it makes me sick just thinking about eating it. I read this should only last until the placenta takes over the hormone control. I am also moody so prayer for my husband since he gets the most of it. But he treats me good even when I am being absurd and unkind sometimes. He's going to be a great daddy!

I have my first OBGYN appointment in 1 week! I am very excited because from what I read I should get my first ultrasound picture and I will get to see the heartbeat!!

Until next week! Here's a 8 week old embryo. (Last week as an embryo next week it will be a fetus!)
