week 9!

So the 9th week has basically come and gone! Pretty uneventful..I felt really good this week, which makes me a little nervous, but glad to not be sick all of the time. I started showering at night and I think that really helped curve the start of the queasiness. We have 8 1/2+ inches of snow on the ground! And it's coming down like crazy again! We took the dogs out in it earlier! Truman loved it! Izzy didn't really care she just thought he was being crazy. I did read Twilight in two days this week! Crazy good book! Can't wait to get the next one!!
enjoy some snow first!!!

Oh! We did get the car seat and stroller in this week! At the cheaper price after arguing with multiple people at sears! (We only ordered it already because it was an incredible deal!)

Here is info on our pea pod this week!
Your Baby

Big news! You may be able to hear the heartbeat this week with the help of a Doppler, an ultrasound device that captures the chug-a-chug sound of baby's heart. The first time you hear baby's heart, your own heart may skip a beat—it's the first real evidence that there's someone growing inside you! If you can't hear the heartbeat, no worries, your doc will just check again in a few weeks. Other amazing developments this week:

Baby is beginning to move, but you won't be able to feel anything for some time.

Baby is growing nipples and hair follicles (although there's still a chance you'll be giving birth to a baldy!) His pancreas, gallbladder, bile ducts and anus are all in place, ready to poop and pee a dozen times a day when he's born. Your baby's head is half the size of his body and his little chin is tucked into his chest. His tiny tail is beginning to shrink away, giving Junior a more human and less amphibious look.

Until now, all pre-babies look the same "down there." This week, however, your baby will begin to develop either male or female genitalia. In layman terms, your baby is beginning to develop her hoo-ha or his wee-wee. While you won't be able to find out the gender of your baby for several more weeks, the version you'll give birth to is being developed right now.

At this stage, your developing fetus is 1-inch in length, about the size of a martini olive (you remember martinis, don't you?) and weighs a mere 2 grams—a little less than a penny.

Last week

So we had our first OB appointment last Friday the 13th. It was basically a PAP and Q and A session. It was reassuring although she didn't tell me much, other than to expect some bleeding from the Pap which I had. They took 6 vials of blood and made me pee in a cup. We go back in a month, I think she said she would call if something was wrong with the blood work. Didn't hear from her today although I called them late to ask another question, guess it wasn't a huge deal since I didn't hear back so that is good. Said we should be able to see/hear the heartbeat next appointment and sex between 16-20 weeks...I know I kept saying I didn't want to know, but it is SO hard already and it's only going to get worse. I want to buy cute clothes and i can't find any gender neutral ones-. :(

Been feeling okay, the M/S comes and goes all day long. Dry heaves come and go. Still have only thrown up once. My face is still broken out like a 13 y/o especially where I have a lot of hair, strange but true.
I told my supervisor that went well and she said I could take all twelve weeks and not have to make up all of my unit loss so that is AWESOME!

Dill is still not feeling well, got him into the Dr on Thursday, its far away but she's off wed and her Tuesday appt time was no good. Hopefully he's better by then. But doubtful.

Tayna had her MRI today, praying that the results come back in a positive light. If not we'll pray for strength from God to get us through this.

That's all for now :). nightnight

been bad!

So I've been terrible about updating as batsta pointed out to me! :) Been super busy, didn't have school last week, but works been crazy, my house has been a mess and we've been entertaining me adorable little cousins :) But I'm two weeks behind on showing you what our bean looks like!

Here is from last Monday at 7 weeks!
his week your baby's brain is growing at a mind-boggling 100 cells per minute within a see-through skull. If you could peer inside, you'd see those tiny brain cells growing and growing and growing (about as quickly as you feel like yours are shrinking and shrinking and shrinking with your "pregnancy brain"!). More high points include:

Your baby's face is becoming more defined this week. A tiny mouth hole (which will be ready to wail before you know it!), tongue, nostrils and ear indentations are visible. His or her eyes are wide open, but he doesn't have irises (the colored part) yet.

Baby's arm buds are growing. At this point they look more like microscopic ping-pong paddles than arms. Baby's leg buds are also forming and will look like tiny paddles by the end of the week.

The umbilical cord—the connection between your baby and the placenta—is now visible.

Your baby is now between 1/3 and 1/4 inch long—about the length of a Tic Tac and about as heavy as an eyelash. While that sounds tiny, he or she is approximately 10,000 times bigger than at conception. Crazy, huh?



And here is this week

his week, your little tadpole is starting to look a little bit more human. Other exciting developments include:

Your baby's eyelids, ears, upper lip and the tip of his soon-to-be adorable button nose are forming.

Junior will also sprout webbed fingers and toes this week—which you'll be well aware of in a few months, as baby starts early gymnastics classes inside you.

Baby's tiny heart has separated into four distinct chambers and is really ticking now—at a rate of 150 beats per minute. That's more than twice your resting heart rate (even when Brad Pitt is on the screen).

Your baby is now a little more than ½ inch long, about the size of the rock in Eva Longoria's engagement ring, and is about as heavy as the check Tony Parker wrote to pay for it.

Your Baby
This week starts a period of rapid cellular development for your baby-to-be, who looks like a mini tadpole, with a tiny head and tail. His or her eyes, ears and mouth have begun to form (though they're a little more Discovery Channel "creatures of the sea" documentary than Gerber Baby at this point).

Other exciting milestones include:

Your baby's heart is now beating to a regular beat, although it's still too faint to hear.

His or her arm buds are just beginning to, well, bud. They look like teensy swollen bumps at this point. In a few days, they'll resemble itsy-bitsy flippers.

Your baby has grown to ⅛ inch long—about the size of one of the chocolate sprinkles on your last cupcake (and your last ice cream cone, and your last sundae and your last giant cookie ... maybe there is something to those rumors about pregnancy cravings!).

So I'm home sick from work today. I had my first bout with more than just queezy morning sickness. Yuck. Although I must admit I was kind of glad to just get it out of me instead of needing to and not being able to. Once that was over with my head was near explosion SO, I called in. Napped for a while. Head still hurts I took some medicine. Hopefully it will help soon I can't take it much longer, especially since it hurt most of yesterday. Dillon text me earlier and said he knew what he was buying Garlic toast (i'll explain shortly), they aparently make minature duck calls now that you can pre order and engrave. They come in blue and pink, cute! But it'll have to wait until later since we aren't finding out what it is! Garlic toast: I was with my mom the other day b/c my jeep was being fixed, so she's on the phone with my dad who told her to invite us out for spagehtti and he said, "Tell Emily and Dillon to come, it's been a while since I saw garlic toast"..b/c my mom had just told him about my bun in the oven shirt! he's so funny and random.



We told everyone this weekend. It was SO much fun. My grandma cried, we told grandparents by a card with our wedding picture on it, inside it said "they say grandparents are the best, but it will be our little secret that great grandparents are even better. See you in September, love baby S. :) my cousins were SO excited, my aunts were ecstatic, my grandpa was teared up :), I LOVE watching peoples faces when you tell them. It is just the best feeling in the world to share the miracle with everyone. Then I text all of our friends and told them :). Rosie was SO excited too. You hear this little one, stick in there. Three of the Trimnals are back! Yay! Tanya looks really good and I'm SO glad she is fighting this, we need her around and she is being a GREAT example to her children by showing them how to be strong! She read my shirt first, it said "nothin' says lovin' like a bun in the oven" and had lil feet down at my belly, she said she saw the feet first and then read it and looked at me and of course I was smiling HUGE and then she said mom read this and my aunt read it and said "are you trying to tell us something" of course I said yes! haha :) So Alexa got to tell Ryan and then they called Troy and Dalton!

I think people are pretty surprised it happened so fast! We are too. But we both have been talking about having kids for probably 3 of our 4 years together, we just knew we wanted them. Also because of school they said, it isn't good to be stressed during practicum and internship, so it was either have the stress of a newborn before and after, and I maybe getting up there in years by the time -after- rolls around. We're so blessed it happens really quick. Now we just pray it sticks.
