8 Weeks

The morning sickness has returned.  I've felt nauseous most of the past week, morning to night.  It is horrible but it does make it feel more real.  I have also been extremely tired.  Both of these things make it very hard to teach a class of 3rd graders, but luckily I have a well behaved group of kids.  It was wonderful to get to rest over Thanksgiving Break.  Here is what is going on in my belly this week:

"Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. Your baby -about the size of a raspberry- is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it."
