7 weeks 2 Days

Hello all,

Ivan and I decided this would be an easy way to keep everyone updated with what's going on with us and Baby Rolo. We are calling our baby "Rolo" for now due to my very first craving with this pregnancy. Good thing I wasn't craving Spam, cuz that would just be weird.

I haven't vomited for a few days, I've figured out I have to eat ALL THE TIME or the baby makes me puke. It is really hard to eat food at 4 AM when I first wake up. I just force down the crackers and water and I tend to be fine.

There are two things that I can't seem to get past. I get carsick every time I go any where. Also I want to sleep. I get home from work and lay down because of my upset tummy and I fall asleep for an hour or two. Everyday I nap. Everyday no chores get done. Thank goodness for Ivan. He is doing a wonderful job of taking care of me. He packs my lunch for me everyday while I'm up in bed (still sleeping). He's been doing the dishes, laundry, grocery shopping and taking care of both me and Daisy

Here's what's going on with Baby Rolo

This week, your little lentil leaps headlong into the fruit bowl, achieving coveted blueberry status. Thankfully, he or she is beginning to resemble a little person: Leg buds will appear and arm buds grow a bit longer and start to divide into segments, one for the hand and one for the arm. The baby also now has digital plates on hands and feet where fingers and toes will eventually develop. Thanks to these beginning limbs, the little guy is already moving around inside the amniotic sac which will be his home for the next eight months. Internal organ systems are also evolving at a steady pace: the baby’s teensy ticker already has its right and left chambers and the lungs have developed their primary bronchii. The pancreas is fully formed and ready to start working, as is the appendix. Last, but not least, baby’s intestines are taking shape, but instead of being located in the abdominal region, they are developing outside the body, in the umbilical cord! By: ePregnancy
