Life has been a little busy, but I'll post about it all later. We started a bunch of fun new classes, and family came to visit. So today week's update is almost a whole week late, but here it is!
Baby Ferraro 2.0 is now the size of a green olive or another website says the size of a grape. Technically now a fetus instead of an embryo but of course, to me it's been a baby since we found out. I'm officially in month three! YAY! And almost done with the awful first trimester, however this trimester has been 8 million times better than with Micah. He had me so horribly sick all the time, and I haven't felt as much of that this time. The only thing is my body aches all the time and my back has been killing me.
Baby is .9 inches long, weighs around .07 ounces and is starting to develop distinct facial features. All of the baby's essential body parts are there. The heart has four chambers now and the valves are forming.
Only a 5 and half more weeks until we find out the sex of this baby. I'm going to do a bunch of the midwife tales for gender predicting in a couple of weeks to see how accurate they are. We are going to do an elective ultrasound around week 15. The doctor we have now only does 2 ultrasounds normally. A dating ultrasound to start and the 20 week scan. However, I want to see baby at least one more time than that! So we decided to do the gender one at week 15.
Names are still completely up in the air, we aren't even really thinking about many names right now. We are thinking we will wait to see if baby is a boy or girl before picking out names.
I'll post tomorrow or so with cute pictures of Micah and all of his classes that he's doing! But here's a pic I took last Friday on Week 9 day.
Anticipation.......Is making me wait.
