9 Weeks Pregnant

So, here we are, 9 weeks pregnant.

And thanks to my son's midnight antics last night, I'm bloody shattered!

He woke up ten minutes after I went to sleep and was inconsolable.  We eventually both got to sleep again, in my bed at 1.30am.  He was up again at 5.30.  Delightful little angel....

I've been so busy at work that I haven't really had time to think about getting stressed about what might and might not happen with the pregnancy.  Which is a good thing.  And strangely I actually feel more pregnant because of it.

Unfortunately, because hubby is away, I haven't got a photo today, but I'll get one when he's back next week.  Instead, I thought I'd share what my potential bubba might look like about now (thanks to BabyCentre).

Thanks to BabyCentre, my hubby now knows that "By week nine of pregnancy, you may find yourself riding a bit of an emotional roller coaster, feeling moody one day and joyful the next."

By the time this week's over, my baby should measure about 2.3cm long. In both shape and size, he resembles a peapod and weighs less than 2g. His eyelids are fused and won't open until week 26. His wrists are more developed, ankles have formed, and his fingers and toes are clearly visible. Arms are growing longer and bend at the elbows and by the week's end his ears will nearly be complete.

Photos to follow.
