9 weeks

Well jellybean and mummy have been on a little adventure for the weekend - a trip to my parents. Whilst normally, the 3 hour drive is quite therapeutic, I spent Saturday late afternoon/evening feeling absolutely rotten! So, driving didn't agree with being 9 weeks!! I just got home about an hour or so ago, so am off to take it easy for the rest of the evening... I don't feel too bad, but still don't feel 100%. Today is the best I've felt for a few weeks (apart from the past hour ish!!).

Hopefully the morning sickness is passing

And onto Jellybean... MY BABY IS A BABY NOW!!!!!!!!!

Congratulations! Your amazing growing baby has been accepted into to the fetus-club, a very exclusive and exiting new stage in their prenatal development. Basically, this means the little sweet pea has graduated from swimming embryo creature to a recognizable human being! This week in particular, the irises of their little eyes can function, but (frustratingly for them?) their eyelids remain fused shut for a while yet. Their external ears are formed and their inner ears are now filled with fluid?so your little one is already developing their sense of balance. Your baby's little swimmer legs are still relatively, although other bodily developments are going forward at a nice pace: their kidney is actually functioning now, which means they?ve started urinating (this might seem charming now but wait till you have to start buying diapers!).

  2. I definately don't feel even half as bad tonight as I did on Saturday after driving. Saturday was awful! I'm contemplating whether to eat dinner or not. I'm hungry but a little scared lol!
