Jeremiah 31: 13: 9 weeks, 6 days (another due date revision!)

Oh my little peanut, you must find this completely ridiculous. I am revising your due date yet again. We've had two ultrasounds now, and you are definitely not measuring at the due date the OB GYN clinic has set (January 6th); you are consistently measuring for a due date of January 9th or 10th. Like I've said before, I realize that the due date is only an estimate; but it's important to me that I get your information correct on here so you will know most accurately what was going on with you.Also, I am very sorry that I have been so delinquent in updating this blog. Mommy has had a very busy last three weeks, and these pregnancy hormones have been making me pretty sick and taking all of my energy!

Since I already updated when I thought you were at seven weeks (May 20th), I won't do that again now, but I want to show you an actual picture of you at 7 weeks, 2 days that was taken at our ultrasound on May 25th!

The small white arrow in the picture is pointing to you. The little circle above you is the yolk sac that is currently feeding you. It will be absorbed by my body when your placenta is finished forming. We got to hear your amazing little heartbeat on the 25th too, and Mommy recorded it on my cell phone. I listen to it ALL THE TIME because I can't get enough of it. It is the most beautiful sound in the world to me. It means that you're alive, which I am so grateful to God for.

These were your stats at eight weeks (or Sunday, May 30th):

Your arms and legs were growing longer
Your fingers and outer ear were beginning to form
Your eyes and nipples were visible
Your body was beginning to straighten out
You may have begun to move already!! Mommy can't feel it yet (and probably won't be able to until some time in August), but that is so exciting!
You were about a half inch long

These were your stats at nine weeks (or Sunday, June 6th):

Your arms were continuing to grow, your arm bones were hardening, and you were even forming elbows!
Your toes were beginning to form
Your eyelids and ears were continuing to develop
You were about 3/4 inch long

Your daddy and I had a second ultrasound at nine weeks, two days on June 8th; and we got to see you again and hear your heartbeat! Look at how much you've grown! The small circle is still your yolk sac, but the image that looks like a peanut is you! I'm so proud of how you're growing!

I'm so in awe of the miracle that you are, sweetheart! I just wish there was some way for me to see you face to face and feel you move. January 9th feels like it's so far away, but I would wait forever if I had to. I can't wait to see you again on July 6th!

These will be your stats as of tomorrow, at ten weeks:
