I'm officially feeling my belly grow! No one can tell I'm pregnant yet, but I can't even button my pants!!! For the first time this morning, I was dry heaving in the trash can with morning sickness but it passed quickly. Only 2 more weeks to go in the first tri!

Here's what www.babycenter.com has to say about our baby this week.

Hello, Kim! Although he's barely the size of a kumquat -- a little over an inch or so long, crown to bottom -- and weighs less than a quarter of an ounce, your baby now has completed the most critical portion of his development. This is the beginning of the so-called fetal period, a time when the tissues and organs in his body rapidly grow and mature. If you could take a peek inside your womb, you'd spot minute details, like tiny nails forming on fingers and toes (no more webbing) and peach-fuzz hair beginning to grow on tender skin.

Baby's first photo!

Well, we finally had our first appointent today. I am 9.5 weeks and due January 21, 2011. In case you don't recognize that date, it's my dad's birthday! Our baby is already the cutest on the planet! Baby's heart was fluttering so fast- 160 beats per minute and measuring 2 centimeters. We even saw the baby wiggle! I think that was the coolest moment.

I am asked all the time how I am feeling. Well, the first month was pretty rough- nausea, colds, fatigue- but I have started feeling better over the last week. I finally have an appetite and actually want to eat. Yea!

Many moments in life turn out to be overrated when you finally go through it, but seeing that little growing person inside me was definitely not overrated. It was one of the most amazing moments of my life!
