Below is an update of Baby Reese's progress at 9 weeks.
Your baby is nearly an inch long — barely the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce, but he's poised for rapid weight gain now that his basic physical structure is in place. His embryonic tail is completely gone, and the development of his body parts — including organs, muscles, and nerves — is kicking into gear. His eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. His upper lip is fully formed, and his mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. Your baby's sex organs are present now but won't be discernable as male or female for another few weeks.
It is just amazing to me that something so small has been making me so SICK! I just cannot get over that. I have had a pretty good weekend so far, thankfully. We did a little shopping and are preparing to make Emily's bedroom an underwater paradise. Hopefully we will get the painting done next weekend or shall I say Brian will get the painting finished. Then I can take over!! He spent the weekend staining the fence and boy does it look GREAT.
He is my SUPERMAN!
Man I cannot wait for her to come home. Robyn lives right beside my work, so I am thinking that will be a great place for my lunch breaks!
