BooBaby

Is coming October 30th unless Vicky says otherwise on April 16th. That's my next doc appointment where she says she can determine the sex of the baby. WHAT you might be asking since I will only be 11 weeks and 6 days at that time!?! She said if this baby makes it difficult for her to find the heart beat it's a BOY because boys are always difficult, and this is where we all say "AMEN!!"
Some of you may not know this yet because your little man hasn't hit that stage yet. He is still in the cute stage, just wait. And right now you're saying to yourself "Not my little angle!" OH YES!!! I thought that as well and I'm hear to tell you with mine turning 10 in 6 days, OH YES, YOURS TOO!
I have been registering for all kinds of freebies on line and I was registered for this website that emails me with all kinds of really cool info about what's going on from week to week. There are also clubs and groups you can join to talk about your pregnancy and your progression. This to me is SO AWESOME becuase 8 and 10 years ago there wasn't ANYTHING like this. The only thing was a book or two and whatever your elders stories and advise you wanted to listen to.
If any of you reading this want to learn more about it...http://www.babycenter.com/ it is really interesting and informative. I joined a group "October Babies" and there is a group inside that group called "BooBabies" which I have also joined. It's for women all over the world, mainly the US that are having babies the end of October. I have to say another October baby isn't really what I had planned when we were trying but maybe this one will be late like Skylar and be a November Baby? Who knows
But anywho, so this week I have learned that my Boobaby peanut has been busy this week ...This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil bean. How cool is that!!
