colorado

so i left for colorado on wednesday morning...well evening actually. i left at 2. i thought i could get so much done before i left, that was a mistake. but i had a good trip out here. i got to go to bro. tony morris' funeral thursday, and then my aunt that passed away last week's funeral was friday. i spent almost the whole time in delta at my grandmas. it was nice to be with family, my mom, my sister, and alot of aunts and cousins! all we did was sit around, visit, and eat! thats what we do best! im still feeling really good! im a bit over 9 weeks or so. today we came to grand junction to see some friends, and i will come back home in the morning. i have missed garret so much!!!! he told me when im gone he always seems to get sick or hurt. he was at football practice monday and busted his nose. he has a black eye and im so sad i wasnt there to take care of him! but i will be home soon! no pics for this post. just a quick update! hope you all are well. love you

Your pregnancy: 9 weeks

See the big picture

How your baby's growing:

Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain
