Week 7: Day 43-49

2/8 - 2/14
Sorry my blog posts have been kinda slow. I know I'm actually backdating a lot of stuff and trying to catch up. So some of these posts may be kinda long. I hope you'll read it all and leave a comment or two. I look forward to being able to read one day and looking back upon all this stuff (which will be quite archaic by the time I'm able to read and understand it all)

Cartilage and bones are forming. Brain waves are now strong enough that they can be recorded. I'm between 1/2 and 2/3 of an inch long. I can kinda move, but not with enough force for Mommy to feel it. Yet. Wait for it. Trust me. I plan to do all kinds of moving.

Mommy needs B6, B12, folic acid, and iron because of all the additional blood going around. Fortunately she doesn't care for spicy foods, which is just fine by me. Bleh!

I have eyes now, but I can't see with them yet. And they are on each side of my head, like a rabbit. I like bunnies!! My basic body structure with arms and legs and proportions is just about right. Ears too. But once my head keeps forming my eyes and ears will line up where they're expected to. I still need to develop Daddy's stubby little toes. Then my toes will be SO CUTE TOO!

My intestines formed around the umbilical cord, but now they're moving towards their proper place inside me. Kinda weird, huh? I'm glad mommy doesn't have any diseases. I'd be getting them about now.

I'm between .62 and .71 niches long now and I weigh somewhere in the neighborhood of .033 ounces. Still no morning sickness, nausea, mood swings, or severe cravings.. I'm doing very good being so gentle.

Feb 14 Happy Valentines!! I'm Mommy's best valentine gift ever!!
It snowed a LOT today in the Boston area. They call it a "Nor'Easter", like North Eastern but with funky punctuation marks. Apparently the first human ovulation was observed by scientists in 1930. That was like, so last century! tee hee!
