By now, your baby is being nourished through the placenta, a flat, spongy organ covered with wavy masses of capillary-filled tissue called chorionic villi. Nutrients pass through this tissue to the embryo, while wastes are carried away. The placenta and chorionic villi are made up of the same genetic material as the baby, and can offer important information about birth defects such as Down syndrome, Tay-Sachs disease, and cystic fibrosis.That is the Week 9 information. It's a little (okay, a LOT) late, since I'll be hitting week 10 tomorrow! Everyone always says "Enjoy every minute of it! It goes by so fast!" And let me tell you - they are right! I feel like I still just found out I'm pregnant yesterday! And in reality, I've known for over a month! It's just a bizarre though.
The fatigue and nausea are getting better. The fatigue is what gets the best of me most of the time now, but I've been napping and going to bed early to make up for it. In fact, I'm going to bed shortly after this because I'm so pooped, and haven't gotten to supplement my normal sleep with a nap since Wednesday.
My hormones have been off the charts lately, and I flip from one emotion to the next like it's nobody's business! I will be glad to get something resembling control over my feelings back!
I substitute taught for the last three days. Johns school is out on Monday, but he's got 3 teacher days. Fortunately, he'll be able to come to my next appointment with me, which is on Wednesday at 7:30 am.
Anyway, thats about all the news from here!
