Fetus

We're in our nine weeks now. I went and registered us at BabyCenter.com, this really cool site that keeps us updated on the progress of both mother and baby. And today we have our first update.


Today, Baby has officially become a fetus. The word "fetus" means "little one". And technically, it means she's a tiny, little human now. As opposed, I suppose to the little worm that she was just a couple of weeks back! At this stage, she's already got her hands and legs complete with fingers and toes. She got eyelids too, though these will be fused shut for a few weeks. And finally, she's got... drumroll... developing genitalia!!!


However at this stage, ultrasound is not gonna be able to distinguish if Baby's a boy or girl, so looks like we're just gonna have to wait. Man oh man! Time is moving in slow-motion these days.


Meantime, Mae is still feeling the effects of pregnancy. The puking seems to have let up a bit but the nausea is still there. Read somewhere that some expectant fathers get symptoms too. Now THAT, I'm not looking forward to.
