Week 8

Hello,

If you could peek into your womb this week, you'd see that your baby's fingers and toes are growing longer, her eyelids practically cover her eyes, and her embryonic tail is just about gone. Of course, it's still too early to tell whether your kidney-bean sized baby is a boy or a girl because the telltale parts aren't visible yet, but go ahead and play the guessing game. Many moms-to-be say they have an inkling early on — and often they're right!FINALLY I had my first Doctor's appt on Wednesday, October 5th at 3:30 pm. History taken...Doctor laughs as my file is HUGE. We do all of the necessary stuff. When was your last period. August 6th. I tell my doctor. I can tell you how far along I am. 8 weeks 4 days, and I am due May 13th (day before Mothers Day). Right and Right. Am I good or what! I guess I have some experience now. LOL. Everything is good. Urine (I forget how much I hate peeing into a cup each visit), Blood Pressure was good. My internal exam was good. Didn't need a pap test after all. Just a feel around. My uterus was measuring 8-9 weeks. Right on track. I feel crappy. Everything is going according to schedule. Headaches disappear. I feel RELIEF. Went for my bloodwork. 6-7 tubes later. A OK. Official paperwork done. I am really pregnant. I said to my Doctor. "Don't tell ANYBODY"...he said when are you going to tell? I said maybe in 4-5 weeks. Depending on if I can hide the belly for a bit. And, this morning sickness.
