2 months into the pregnancy..

And other than a little queasiness every now and then and an overactive gag reflex when brushing my teeth I am still feeling pretty good! We had a stomach bug go thru our house this week and I think I may have a touch of that right now. Having a little trouble sleeping too but when I hear about what other women endure at this point in pregnancy my woes pale in comparison so Im really not going to complain.

We have a dr's appt this week although Im really not sure what the point is- it will be too early to hear the heartbeat with a doppler and I dont think they plan on doing a U/S. So I guess I will just get weighed and he will make sure my uterus feels like it is growing and charge us $110 and send us on our way- kinda pointless if you ask me! We leave for Disney on Friday (YIPEEE!!!) and when we get back we have our first Perinatologist (high risk specialist) appt on April 7th. This one will be a big one- we will have a U/S to make sure the baby is looking good and talk about our testing options in the few weeks following that. So we are definitely looking forward to that one.

Here is what is going on with the baby this week:

New this week: 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.
