What's new? I still got nausea and vomiting (at least nothing comes out though). I made an appointment with my OB-GYN and they scheduled me for next week July 3rd. I'm still taking my old pre-natal vitamins which are supposed to expire on August 2007. So, I should get a new prescription for that. I'm thinking of asking them to change the brand because it seemed to make me sicker. I take it during the night and as soon as I'm done taking it, I get nauseated immediately. My sense of smell is getting strong as well. I hate the smell of onion and garlic, chicken soup, greasy foods, body odors and other normal stinky stuffs. Somehow I still find it strange that only those things irritate me. You see with my pregnancy with AJ, everything smells horrible to me even perfumes and make-up. That right there gave me enough clue that he was going to be a boy, lol! I still don't know if this one is going to be another boy. I didn't get the feelings yet and based on the signs I'm getting, I can never be too sure. I don't want to ignore the signs this time. I want to be prepared emotionally. I admit I am hoping for a girl this time but I have no control over God's will. I already have some people telling me I'm going to get a complete set of the 3 Muskeeters, so I know there is a greater chance that it will be another boy. I have noticed that I get a lot of colored dreams lately. I still don't know what they mean but they're kinda interesting. Still no cravings this time. Just trying to find foods that my stomach can handle.
How my baby's growing:
Your new resident 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. He's also starting to look more and more human. His embryonic "tail" is now completely gone and his body parts — including organs, muscles, and nerves — are kicking into gear.
His eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. He has earlobes, and by week's end, the inner workings of his ears will be complete. His upper lip is fully formed, too, and his mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The tips of his fingers are slightly enlarged where his touch pads are developing. All major joints — his shoulders, elbows, wrists, knees, and ankles — are working, enabling your baby to move his limbs. As for his heart, it has divided into four chambers now, and the valves have started to develop. External sex organs are there, but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks.
