Your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like... well... a baby!Thursday, March 26, 2009
Week 9: March 26th- April 1st
Baby is the size of a green olive now!

Week 8: March 19th- 25th
Baby is a raspberry this week!
Your baby is growing like mad, putting on about a millimeter every day and continuing to straighten out in the trunk. Though you can't feel it yet, baby is moving those little arms, legs and (now only slightly) webbed fingers and toes like crazy.

Week 7: March 12th- 18th
Our baby is a blueberry! :) Awww.
Baby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.

Week 6: March 5th- 11th
Week 5: February 26th- March 4th
My baby is the size of an appleseed.
Your embryo (looking kind of like a tadpole) is starting to form major organs (heart, kidney, liver, stomach) and systems (nervous, circulatory, digestive). Baby's presence in your uterus triggers production of hCG (the hormone detected by pregnancy tests)... which triggers production of other hormones like estrogen and progesterone... which trigger all those great symptoms you've probably been noticing!

My baby is the size of a poppy seed.
In week 3, sperm meets egg, and voila: conception! Your little zygote sets off on a six-day trek through your fallopian tubes, dividing and redividing into identical cells as it travels to your uterus.
In week 4, now safe in your womb, the ball of cells (blastocyst) splits in two, becoming the embryo and the placenta. The amniotic sac and fluid are forming around baby, and will act as a cushion for the next eight months.

We're pregnant!
[originally written on 02.18.09]
I started "feeling" pregnant last week. Ya know like certain smells making me feel nauseous, bloated, and sore boobies. Well I had free test strips that I got so I decided to try one.... And two lines showed up. But this stupid strip came with no directions. So I tried a regular Walmart test and *ta-da* two lines again!
So I called the doctor yesterday and went in for a confirmation test and they confirmed I am in fact PREGNANT! I still can't believe it :) I am about 3 1/2 weeks and due on October 29th, 2009.

Just a hello and intro :)
Hello :) Lets see, some things about me... My name is Amanda and I blew out 21 candles on May 25th. I am married to an amazing guy named Travis. He is everything I could ever hope for & all that I need.We finally tied the knot on October 9th, 2008 and I'm so happy! When we got married I gained a stepson, Conner. He is 3 and such a smart little boy. We just found out we are expecting a new little one due to make his/her appearance on October 29th, 2009. I was blessed with a beautiful baby girl named Nevaeh whom I love more than life itself. I was due on March 11th, 2008 but she was *born into Heaven* on January 9th. She is forever missed and never forgotten. I live in small town and while some people prefer living in a big city, I love my little bitty town. I have some of the best and most loyal friends and family a girl could ask for, but I'm always looking to meet new people so send me an add. I would love to talk to you.....
