Great 8

No new developments. Still exhausted. Still nauseous. Good thing it's worth it.

The little beanie has fingers and toes that are still webbed, and about two weeks before it actually resembles a baby. Baby is the size of a kidney bean. 1/2 an inch long and no considerable weight.

**8/20 addition**

So, met with the nurse for my ob today. Went through the family

history, and all of the paperwork and stuff. Although, when she asked if

my little sister survived her bout of anacephaly, I lost some respect for her.

She should have asked what it was (a neural tube defect resulting in not

forming the top of the skull or brain lobes) if she didn't know. I can't

find anything solid online, but they think the genetic factor is low. Still.

Then, she made me a pincushion. Apparently, I have rolling veins.

The upside is that we get to go in for an ultrasound on the 28th to

date the pregnancy and hear the heartbeat.

I'm so excited. Next week we get to enter the fetus stage. Baby's moving on up.
