Oh Baby!



It's true. I'm so very pregnant. And we're both so very excited! Adam is the most I think. He's singing all the time and talking to my tummy telling Baby to be good to Baby's mother. And for the most part he or she is being good. I haven't sick all the time, just some, and so tired. And hungry! I'm 7ish weeks along, we think, so the baby is not very large. Neither am I, see:


And if you're wondering about whether Baby looks like Daddy or Mommy yet.... according to the pregnancy stages website:

5 weeks: "Your baby looks a lot like a tadpole this week, with a rudimentary head and a tail...the size of an orange seed."


7 weeks:"This week, your baby's length is approximately a quarter of an inch — the size of a blueberry. The biggest growth this week is your baby's head, with new brain cells being generated at the rate of 100 cells per minute. This week his or her arm and leg buds begin to sprout and grow longer, dividing into hand, arm, and shoulder segments — and leg, knee, and foot segments (though the limb buds look more like paddles than hands or feet at this early stage).

So, it sounds like Baby is, at this time, taking after his/her daddy with that big noggin. Adam is already calling the child "Tank" or "Tankette." He thinks we will have a chunker. I'm praying for a nice 7 pounder. Ya'll pray too now, ya hear?

Here's a nice shot of the squirt:
