First the update.. 7 weeks today!!

Baby’s brain — both hemispheres! — is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby’s third!) is now in place.

How far along? 7 weeks!

Total Weight Gain/Loss? +2 lbs

Maternity Clothes? Getting there!! I’ve picked up a few shirts on clearance and snagged a pair of jeans on ebay.

Stretch Marks? Yup :( Still faint, but I can see them

Sleep? Can’t get enough of it…

Best Moment Last Week? My mom’s gift of a “I was worth the wait” onesie and cap

Movement? Nada, although the grumbling my stomach makes sometimes could easily be mistaken for that!

Food Cravings? Bagel w/ cream cheese… and lots of bacon.  No, not kidding.

Gender? Feeling girl… but who knows at this point.

Labor Signs? Nope, thank goodness!

Belly button in or out? Going out quicker than I’d like!

What I miss? A nice glass of Pinot Grigio…

What I’m looking forward to? Our first ultrasound in 2 weeks!!

Milestones? Just being here and getting to this point!

And now for a video….

Its true what they say, once an infertile, always an infertile.  I saw this on one of my infertility message boards and I just bawled.  I’m sure the hormones have something to do with it, but man… this describes what I have been through in the past 18 months.  Please watch and send vibes to anyone and everyone that you know who struggles with infertility. Trust me, they will appreciate it!
