9 Weeks (plus a few days for lateness)

For me, this past week can pretty much be described by 2 words - fatigue and bellyaches. Apparently, all the progesterone in my body continues to mess with my GI tract.

For the little one, this is the last week of being an embryo, and it will soon be a fetus. All the parts are pretty much accounted for, and it is the size of a grape. And thank goodness - the tail is supposed to be gone!



And here's my belly shot... again, looking bigger than normal due primarily to the bloating, and not actual baby size:



I've been wearing my pants that are a size larger than normal (also known to women as "fat pants"), and decided it would be good if I started thinking about making some transition pants. I got all excited and looked up some sewing articles on the web and learned how to add "belly bands". I even went to JoAnns and bought a bunch of fabric on Saturday. Then that other word kicked in: fatigue. And I got tired and took a nap.
