Week 11: Baby Center blurb

Week 11 baby status from baby center.

Week 11: Picture Update

New Pics! Some physical changes are becoming more noticeable. It's the start of a strange period where everyone who knows shes pregnant is excited that there are differences. But everyone who doesnt know just thinks she has to hit the gym a little bit more. The pregnant signs will definitely pick up over the next couple of weeks. In baby world week 11 marks the transition from embryo to fetus.

Week 10: Baby Center Update

And for completeness here is the week 10 baby update from babycenter.com. The baby is transitioning from barely recognizable dividing bundle of cells to rapidly growing human.

Week 10: Pictures

Week 10 pictures! Officially 1/4 of the way through the process. You cant really make it out in these pictures but there is a slight outward protuberance in Mollys lower stomach. Distangling the evidence from other typical causes like possible weight gain, onset of an early 'gunt' or pregnancy, it looks like its clearly pregnancy related. Shocker. Hopefully we'll start seeing some real difference over the next few weeks.

Week 9: Update

Molly is traveling to New York for work so no new pics today. Ill take new pics tomorrow. Heres a preview: there are some slight noticeable external changes but not many. For now this is the week 9 update from baby center.

We went to the Doctors for the first time on Wednesday. It was a fairly straight forward meeting; a strong reminder that if one is pregnant they should try not to do too many drugs or smoke too many cigarettes.

We also have the official due date of Thursday, September 17. In reality this date is only slightly better than completely arbitrary. But 'sometime in September' doesnt have the same clinical ring to it.

Cellular Protection

Im going to buy a critical piece of media with each paycheck over the next few months. I'm starting with the Pixar goodies. This past pay period i picked up Wall-E. I have the other Pixar films lined up in the queue in addition to some books and other films.

I will do my best to protect the growing bundle of cells from such aborrations as The Phantom Menace. If i get my way he or she will be never know about the latest three star wars movies. They'll have to learn about Jar-Jar from the streets.

Week 8: Baby Center Summary

Here is the week 8 summary from baby center. Some really exciting stuff is happening. Fingers and toes are sprouting out and neural pathways are being formed.

Week 8: Photo Update

s


Week 8 photos! Not many outward signs that something is happening. This is starting to feel like a bit of a scam but i swear something is actually happening on the inside.
Saying "Jazz Hands!" adds to the experience when viewing the first image.

Week 7.8: Update

Slow news week as far as outward signs of development. All the action continues out of sight in cellular development and specialization.

Molly is continues to be annoyed by persistent slight nausea. We've been using pregnancy as an excuse to eat not-so-good-for-you food and rationalize it as 'Molly listening to her body,' and me supporting her listening to her body.

Updated pics on Friday. First doctors appointment next week.
