I'm a quarter of the way done! It's hard to believe, but time is simultaneously flying by at a steady clip and crawling by one day at a time. I have learned some things this past week:
1. Waiting until I'm really hungry and then eating a ton of food is a bad, BAD idea and I will pay for it the rest of the day and into the night.
2. Fittingly, the Bagel loooooooves bagels and cream cheese. I have a sesame bagel just about every day at work. I've been eating the veggie cream cheese so I can trick myself into wanting to eat vegetables.
3. I should have bought more yarn for the baby blanket I'm knitting. I'm not running out yet, but I will before I'm finished. I'm working on getting more. Oops.
This week, the Bagel is now a fetus rather than an embryo and is the size of a prune (really? no comment). Bones and cartilage are forming and knees and ankles are forming. Tooth buds are forming under the gums. If Bagel is a boy, he's already producing testosterone. So if I have a beard at passover, we can probably safely guess the sex.
The placenta is now producing progesterone, so that means today is my last day taking my progesterone supplements. I'm a touch nervous about stopping the supplements, so wish me luck!

Good luck! Everything will be fine. :)
ReplyDeleteI think JuLo may have let the bagel out of the bag on Facebook.
ReplyDeleteI don't think she outed me. It reads like he's the one who'll be drinking the most anyway, which let's be honest, ain't far from the truth.
