9 Weeks Today!

After all that we've been through during the very early weeks of this pregnancy, the bleeding and everything else, I am SO thankful that I can report this today. :-)

Here is what pregnancy weekly has to say about development at nine weeks:

Fetal Development Your baby is about one inch from crown to rump - or roughly the size of a strawberry. Weighing in at one gram, your baby is very active, although you can't feel its movements yet. He or she now has all the major organs, muscles, and nerves; and a Doppler may be able to identify the heartbeat. While his or her testes or ovaries are formed, the external genitalia still appear sexless, which is why it is too early for an ultrasound to reveal its gender. Eyelids are beginning to form and the trunk is straightening and elongating, cartilage and bones are forming, the basic structures of the eyes are in place, and the tongue is beginning to develop. The fingers and thumb are visible, albeit short and webbed.

Continuing in praises and prayers that I will be able to continue counting down the weeks until October, when our little blessing decides to make the grand day arrival. <3
