Ahh... fall! My favorite time of year!! It is like a breath of fresh air after a warm and busy summer. Life starts to slow down a bit, the weather turns crisp and invigorating, the leaves turn, time to break out the blankets and candles and apple cider! Plus there is all the fun of fall decorations, a trip to the pumpkin patch, time spent playing games around the table with friends and family, wearing sweaters and socks again... I just LOVE it! Well, I just had to share my excitement with you :)
Week Eight Update
I also wanted to share what is going on this, week 8, of my pregnancy. This week the baby is the size of a large raspberry:
And my uterus is now the size of a grapefruit:
The baby's lips, nose, eyelids, legs and back are continuing o take shape this week. Also this week, Shmidt (her/him/it), is beginning to make spontaneous movements :)
As for me, I am sill feeling very tired and sick (though, thankfully, nothing has actually come of the sickness yet), so far this is pretty much like my pregnancy with Parker... although, I keep wondering if I was actually this sick last time! Matt and I are both thinking it is worse this time around. Haha, I am looking forward to the second trimester when I might find some relief :)
One thing that is different is the rate at which I'm "showing". Although, it is not necessarily the baby that is showing! I guess in subsequent pregnancies this tends to happen due to the fact that all those muscles and everything have already been stretched out. Plus, I think it is a bit exaggerated in me because I was pregnant such a short time ago and because of my short torso. Well, all of that and the swelling and such that goes along with the first trimester ;)
Well, that is all the update I've got for now!!
