Nine Weeks

How far along: Nine weeks as of November 29, 2011.
Size of baby: Grape.  Growing bigger!  This week, Beansprout's skeleton is beginning to harden, his intestinal system forms, and his reproductive system begins to develop internally.  He also may start to move!
Movement: None that I can feel.
Sex of baby: Likely boy, although this week I have been craving sweets (see below), which is a sign that it may be a girl!  Most of the signs still point to boy, though.
Sleep: Well, sleep was pretty awful this week, at least at the beginning of the week.  For some reason, I got into a habit of waking up at around 4 am each morning and being unable to go back to sleep for hours.  It was horrible trying to sleep when everyone else in the room (dogs included) was sleeping soundly (and snoring, in the case of Finn).  I'm not sure the reason for this sleep problem, but it didn't happen on Friday or Saturday nights, so I am hoping it is over.
What I miss: Having the energy to cook a meal when I get home from work, which is always after 8pm.  Luckily for us, my mom ordered us meals from a meal delivery service.  They arrived yesterday, so I should be able to eat a balanced dinner every night without having to prepare it myself!  What a godsend.
Cravings: This week it was sweets.  Chocolate chip cookies, ice cream, etc.  Very healthy, but I am using this pregnancy as an excuse to give into cravings, with moderation, course!
Symptoms: Fatigue, some nausea after eating.
What I'm looking forward to: Next week's doctor's appointment and hearing Beansprout's heartbeat.  I also haven't gotten the results of my bloodwork, so I will have to call to check on them.  I'm looking forward to positive results!
