This week I've entered the 3rd month and my embryo is now officially a fetus. Little Seven is the size of a green olive. My uterus has doubled in size and my belly may start to show. It's definitely fuller, though I'm not so sure it's uterus. Probably more likely the extra food I've inhaled. We thought now would be a good time to take a baseline belly shot since it appears there's going to be some growing in the weeks ahead. So here we go. (lovely black residue courtesy of estrogen patches)
Hcg is also at it's peak this week and it warns that m/s could be at it's worst. I guess I have officially escaped m/s, not a single hint of it. The exhaustion has reappeared though and it's a good thing I don't have both. I think I would just have to sleep with my head in the toilet.
Cute non-belly! I'll be interested to see how long it lasts... :)
ReplyDeleteI remember counting down every Tuesday with this pregnancy and every Thursday with my first pregnancy and getting excited about another week being behind me and another day closer to my "goal"!! Good idea to take a baseline belly shot, because it can change literally overnight....one day you'll get up and will have all of a sudden sprouted this bump....it's soooo fun and exciting! I just love reading your updates!!

Looking forward to see that cute little belly grow over the next few months :)
ReplyDeletehaha! that is totally what my first trimester was like- sleep with my head in the toilet! It was awful! I'm so glad you missed it...as far as pregnancy goes, it is the best symptom to miss! Your belly looks so cute and flat! Mine didn't officially really start showing until close to 20 weeks, but you are more petite than me so I bet you'll start showing really soon:-)
ReplyDeleteYay for 9 weeks! You are only 4 weeks from the end of the first tri!!!!
Yay for the belly shot!! I can't wait to watch it grow over the next weeks. :)
ReplyDeleteI am so happy that things are going well for you-even in the m/s department! Looking forward to seeing that flat belly fill up!
ReplyDeleteCongrats on the olive! I'm glad you escaped morning sickness. I think all IF pregnancies deserve to be as easy as possible!
