This week TIF is not growing any longer, but is getting thicker! He/she is still about 5" long, but is starting to get baby fat. (I'm sure the French meal I had tonight is helping with this!) TIF's task this week is to learn how to suck, so he/she can be ready to eat in its own. Also, TIF heart rate is controlled by its brain now at a steady 140-150 beats per minute. That's about twice my heart rate.
I am feeling very good these days in terms of the first trimester symptoms. It is, however, my first pollen season in Washington. I am very congested most days. So, maybe after the pollen season is over, I will feel 100% again. Fortunately, my stomach is doing great and my memory is back!
Today, Nate got to celebrate father-to-be day! I got him a small gift of two books: Geek Dad and How to be Prepared. Appropriate, huh? He can't wait to do the science projects with the baby!
What is up with your memory? Did you get forgettable during the first trimester? Monika
