Ok, so we've been really bad about keeping up with the blog.... but we're trying! hahaha. Everytime we think about updating the blog at home, we're either hungry or sick feeling or just plain exhausted. Our hearts are in the right place, it's just a matter of getting up and getting all the info on the computer!

Well, lets give you a quick update on the little one for week 9!

Everything is going well, Mommy is pretty much feeling icky every day. No actual sickness, per se, just the icks.... Luckily the morning sickness doesn't hit in the morning, mostly in the afternoons around 2:00. It's not that bad, but if I don't eat every 2-3 hours, it can get ugly. And although before I was pregnant, I wasn't much of a fan, I'm learning that CARBS ARE YOUR FRIEND.... Crackers, bread, potatoes, pasta.... anything that is filling seems to make the queezys go away....

Daddy is coping well with Mommy being sick. He's great at pampering, back rubs and cracker/snack duty before bed!! He's also been great at dealing with the mood swings, whether it's tearing up at a tire commercial or getting angry at a call on the ballfield... He's just been so great!! Props to Daddy!! = o)

The little one's development is moving right along too. Lil Duck is starting to look more and more human. All essential "parts" are accounted for, but they're still growing. His/Her heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form. We even start to get tiny teeth. Organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The eyes are fully formed, but won't open for a while. Apparently, now is the time that the baby is ready to start rapid weight gain. YEA!! Growing like crazy... Here is the 9 week picture of Lil Duck!!
