Lemon baby

Your adorable little fetus is busy with thumb sucking, toe wiggling, and (not so cute but equally amazing) making urine and breathing amniotic fluid as the liver, kidneys and spleen continue to develop. Lanugo (thin, downy hair) is growing all over the body for warmth.
Well...baby is a busy bee isn't he/she? I know one thing is for sure he/she is taking all my warmth. Also just when I started to get anxious about my upcoming appt on Thursday...Baby T remind Mommy T that he/she was still growing and woke Mommy T up Sunday morning to dry heave. LOVELY! Baby T can we please stop with the nausea and dry heaving?? I love the reassurance but the m/s crap is getting old.
So I finally look pregnant!! I'm getting the baby bump. Some days it looks bigger than other days but its there to stay. Co-workers and ex co-workers are starting to notice so thats also reassuring in some way.
I must say....I feel just plain weird. Or let me say my abdomen in general does. Its hard to describe. I have good body awareness....I think more so than others and feel every little twinge & discomfort going on in there. The morning I woke up to get sick...I must have been laying on my left side and rolled over to my back. I started poking around below my belly button and it was such a strange feeling but I could feel my uterus plain as day. It felt like a water balloon.
I'm hoping this week my Dr. will send me to get an u/s. I haven't seen Baby T in almost 7 weeks. Thats almost 2 months!! Hopefully Baby T will cooperate and let us find out the sex as well so I can start registering and picking out items. I don't care what we have at this point. Its just exciting!!!
