Quick recap: TB=The Bull (reference to Richard) FFTB=Foxy Father To Be FBA=Foster Bean A FBB=Foster Bean B
FBA and FBB are now the size of a grape!
Week 9 is here! I was advised by TB that I gave a little to much info last week so I will do better this week. My response in my head was I didn't tell some of the grossness I learned about the tata's, later realizing he was talking about Bachelor Pad. I'm writing this as a journal which will be bound later for the babies to some day read about how neurotic their mother is/was. I started thinking about this, I'm really writing what's happening mid week of the last week. I start each new recap on Thursdays and email the following Wednesday....following me? So week 9 begins on Sunday and you are reading the last half of week 8 and the beginning of week 9. I don't really know how I did this, however I'm going with it.
I have been researching and researching away for strollers. I was so excited when I got an email telling me that bugaboo is coming out with a twin stroller that I called Bugaboo. No price, no set date, and no waiting list. They told me to get on waiting lists at retailers in the area so I did. I received a call from an in home care lady telling me she has a spot for two for when I go back to work, so that was exciting news and relief for the week.
So Wednesday night was a bad night. I was up most of the night and moved onto the couch to watch tv. My darling Bella woke up and joined me on the couch. (FFFTB has been very supportive and wakes me up in the morning to give me a hug and send me back to bed after a night on the couch.) So on top of no sleep I got out of the shower and had no electricity. As I was getting ready in the dark I went to put on some of my jeans which did not fit at all. I was a little disturbed, but whatever. I looked up and found three pairs of TB's jeans sitting there. I thought to myself hmm those are cute, Guess jeans, a little flair on the legs, wonder if those would fit me. I decided what the hell and I'm glad I did it. OMG it was the funniest thing! They looked like high wasted grandma jeans from the 80's. I was dying laughing and proceeded by myself to try on the remaining two pairs for my own entertainment.
I woke up Friday morning so excited that I did not wake up in the middle of the night. This is a rare night so I felt good this morning. TB was proud that I made it through the night without any disturbance. This morning was different and I should have picked up on it. I left the house and literally got within 1 mile on the highway and freaked out. I had to make an emergency stop some where and fast. I greeted the fine patrons of McDonalds with my nausea in the parking lot. I'm sure it ruined some breakfasts, however I was dying and it was either going to be on me in my car or in their parking lot. I chose the selfish one. "Yes I will have a McBarf with my McMuffin please."
Friday night on a whim I decided to go to the State Fair with Mere and Jeff while TB had dinner with Corley. At the State Fair I took extra note on strollers. There was a plethora of them and I'm sure Jeff thought I was crazy. One thing that got me and reminded me why I never go to the State Fair was seeing a pregnant woman pushing a stroller smoking a cigarette. Mere and I were appalled! It really bothered me to the point that I started analyzing what I'm doing. I'm not eating as I believe meaning hamburgers, burritos, & chinese food at the mall. We are in the middle of moving so I'm thinking I will get back to normal once we get settled. I love watermelon and normally will eat an entire watermelon if given the opportunity. Ummm I've had one sitting in the fridge for a week now. So with that being said you can tell the weird cravings are not a myth.
I've read that your man gains a belly bump too so for this weeks update I've tried to include two pics: 1.) My bump pic and 2.)TB's bump pic. The point in doing this is to see if this theory holds true. Unfortunately my man was not biting on this idea. Enjoy!
As always thank you for your kind words, thoughts, prayers, and messages. Goal 36 weeks!
Mother Hen and Foxy Father To Be
How your baby's growing:
Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain.
