Baby Hoosier #3 :: Week 9

This week, Baby is the size of a: grape
Sleep: I can usually make it until 8:00/8:30 these days before passing out on the couch.
Best moment this week: We had our first ultrasound of baby this week! It's heart is beating at 170 bpm and everything looks healthy!! It even gave us a few wiggles. It felt so wonderful to watch that little heart beat - it brought so much reassurance to my heart. 


 It was also wonderful that they were able to do an external ultrasound and did not need to do an internal one to get a good view of baby; an internal ultrasound is what confirmed the death of our second baby and not having to face that again was a welcome surprise.
Movement: None felt yet - can't wait! We did get to watch some wiggles at the ultrasound!
Food cravings: Flavor! Chipotle burritos, Mediterranean quinoa, Brussels sprouts roasted in salt & pepper, asparagus roasted with garlic & lemon juice, Jason's Deli sandwiches
Symptoms: Morning sickness continues, sometimes it is all that I can do to keep up with it and sometimes I have bursts of energy in which I can do things. Belly is really starting to poke out - doctor confirmed that the uterus is up in front and swelling - and in a tighter shirt, you can see that :) My hair is super thick - like almost hard to manage it's so thick!!
Milestones: Baby is out of the embryonic stage and into the fetal stage. Baby's fingers and toes are no longer webbed!
