Why hello there, little green olive (or grape or cherry, depending on the pregnancy website). While I'm enjoying the fresh Colorado mountain air, I see that Fishy is starting to look more human. The head remains bigger than it's arms & legs, but the "embryonic tail" is completely gone & the organs and muscles can function on their own. The heart now has it's 4 chambers, with valves starting to form. Did see the heart pumping rapidly on the Ultrasound, pretty amazing. Looks like the eyelids will fuse together, until week 27. There's tiny earlobes, and features like the mouth nose & nostrils are more distinct. Technically the sex organs are developed, so now I'm starting to be curious.
Pretty sure that Fishy is enjoying the larger pond, cuz apparently my uterus is as large as a cantaloupe. Makes sense, cuz (awake or asleep) I've been frequenting the toilet every 3 hours. Gotten used to that.. and the bloat, fatigue, gag reflexes, hunger then indigestion, bouncing between constipation and almost-diarrhea. Apparently, I'll be a moody bloated fatigued crazy, having nausea all day. What else is new?
Back to enjoying my long weekender. & begin my hunt for a bagel, haha
