see the line on the pic?the top of the line is the top of his big head,and the bottom of the line is his little butt sitting on the eggsack(:
josh and i went to our first doctors appointment this week.it made everything seem so much more real than seeing two pink lines on a stick.our baby is healthy from everything they could tell,and my projected due date,feb. 25th,was right on target!they did an ultrasound to measure the baby,so we actually got to see our tiny 1/2 inch baby on the screen right next to us!it was so amazing that a half inch baby already has a very distinctive human shape,we could see the head and the little butt,and where his legs curled out,it was so cool.and the most amazing thing is that he is going to double in size this week!!!by the end of this ninth week,our little sea monkey will be a whole inch long(:
Week 9: Movement begins
Your baby at week nine (seven weeks after conception)
Your baby is now nearly 1 inch long and weighs a bit less than 1/8 of an ounce. The embryonic tail at the bottom of your baby's spinal cord is shrinking, helping him or her look less like a tadpole and more like a developing person.
Your baby's head — which is nearly half the size of his or her entire body — is now tucked down onto the chest. Nipples and hair follicles begin to form. Your baby's pancreas, bile ducts, gallbladder and anus are in place. The internal reproductive organs, such as testes or ovaries, start to develop.
Your baby may begin moving this week, but you won't be able to feel it for quite a while yet.

Der. dont get hungry...that will make you puke for sure. Hope you can avoid it though - there's nothing like throwing up for a month straight to make some pretty strange muscles real sore. Especially when you do it in places like parking lots and sidewalks where there's no commode to lean on....
=o)
i sent you a card today...
