Our Kidney Bean!

Ok, so I am so fascinated by the miracle of this baby growing inside me, that I look every week at the development/changes, and I thought I would share where "Baby Houser" is right now! This is from babycenter.com.

He/She has Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.

You may notice that your bra is getting more snug. Soon you'll likely need a larger size with better support. Rising levels of hormones cause breast growth and other tissue changes, all in preparation for lactation. Your breasts may continue to grow throughout pregnancy. Don't be surprised if you go up a cup size or two, especially if it's your first baby. Keep this in mind, and allow for room to grow when investing in a new bra.Feeling fatigued? Hormonal changes — in particular, a dramatic rise in progesterone — may be contributing to your sluggishness. Nausea and vomiting can certainly cost you energy, too. And you may be having trouble getting a good night's sleep at this point, especially if you're uncomfortable or find you need to get up to pee.


ALL of this is so true, my poor Husband has had to deal with my constant whining, moaning, nausea, and discomfort, but it will be worth it when we are blessed with a beautiful baby! Also, thank you, Kyle, for being so supportive and sweet! I love you! Here is a pic of B and Kyle from this summer-already learning to shave! :)


One last note-Thank you, honey, for changing the garbage disposal this weekend-not a fun chore! You can do anything!! Love you!....I really wish I had a pic of this-hilarious-Kyle beat the old garbage disposal for a good hour b/c it would NOT come out! :)
