Our Little Christmas Lime!  

Posted by Chrystal

11 Weeks today!

Your baby continues to grow and is now approximately the size of a large lime! The crown-to-rump length of your developing child is 1.75 to 2.4 inches. The weight of the fetus is approximately 8 grams at this point. The growth of your baby is phenomenal now and your baby's length will double in the next three weeks.

So I had to go to the store to see how big a lime really is. And of course I had to buy it! I couldn't hold it thinking about our baby and then just leave it there among the other ordinary limes -- I mean this one was our baby!


I go back to the doctor next Thursday. Say some prayers that our little lime is being a good little boy or girl.

Merry Christmas to all!

9 Weeks, A Wal-Mart Belly Ache, and Baltimore...  

Posted by Chrystal

Week 9 is about to come to an end. What another fun filled week it has been!

It started with a Wal-Mart Belly Ache on Friday afternoon. After talking to a pregnant coworker, I started taking my vitamins with dinner and the nausea pills right before bedtime (7:30! LOL) on Thursday night. I woke up Friday morning feeling like a million bucks! Then it hits... the Wal-Mart Belly Ache... I haven't had one of those these things in years. Why "Wall-Mart" you ask? Well, these type of stomach aches are the ones that show up when you least expect it, or in the worst possible places. Work, School, WAL-MART. My Mom, My Aunt and Sister all get the same thing. It's just want we do. The first one I ever got was at the Nine West Outlet store in the Ozarks. It was a good time had by all. Oh, the joys of a pregnant person's digestive tract! It's just so much fun!

This weekend I attended a baby shower. I can't wait to register for all that cute stuff!!

Monday and Tuesday I had to travel to Baltimore for work. I was so worried about the plane rides. I prayed over and over again that I wouldn't get sick. I didn't throw up until I got home on Tuesday night! Victory! The vendor took us to a sea food restaurant on Monday night and served lunch meat on Tuesday. Oh, the joys of a pregnant person's "do not eat" list!

My new favorite food...

Yes, those are sour gummy worms. I can't get enough!

Week 10 starts tomorrow! Stay tuned! (Only 10 more weeks until we find out the sex!)
