Whats happening with baby this week:
November 20th - 26th


Eight weeks’ gestation, 10 weeks from your Last Menstrual Period, Embryo measures 30mm (1¼ inches). The foetus is moving around in the amniotic fluid but you won't feel it yet. Tiny phallus forms which could be penis or clitoris; perineum has formed. Baby is no longer an embryo; the foetal period begins. Genitalia show male characteristics now if it's a boy.

Whats happening with mommy this week:

Well, more good news this month. My blood sugar levels are still great so the Dr. has dropped my testing to three times a week. I kind of like testing. It's interesting to see how different foods affect my blood sugar levels. She said I can test whenever I'd like to.
As far as everything else, things are going great. I think I have escaped the morning sickness. I'm still very tired all the time. I think the moodiness may be hitting me a bit. I'm a lot more sensitive over simple things. I get worn out so easily. Sunday I cleaned the living room, raked the front and back yard and cleaned the fish tank. This took me just about all day and I was beyond tired afterward, something that before I could have knocked out in a few hours.
My friend Jason from work his wife just had there little baby on Monday. They had a little girl, Abbigail. I'm not sure how they are spelling it. I cant wait till he brings her in so I can see her.
I had the most odd dream night before last my first dream about having the baby. I had a dream that 2 days after she (the baby was a she in my dream) was born I was feeding her rice and turkey and trying to teach her how to chew the turkey! A few minutes later I went to change her and her diaper was full of rice! Oh, so many ways to interpret that. One being, I'm not sure I have clue one how to care for a little baby. Sure I've baby sat and played with other little babies. But this just doesn't compare! I have lots of reading to do!
