Our Little Blueberry

Another week has passed, and now you are 10,000 times bigger than you were at the moment you were conceived. You are the size of a blueberry! Your brain cells are forming at 100 cells per minute. Your mouth and tongue are forming and so are your arm and leg buds (when I told your Daddy last night that your mouth and tongue were forming, he said "Oh dear, it's probably going to come out just like you." Not sure what that was supposed to mean, but I think I'll take it as a compliment). :) And finally, your kidneys are formed and are now ready to begin their job!

The cramps that I had been having have finally decreased in frequency and it has actually been a couple days since I've had anything at all.  I hope this will continue! Because this blog is only intended for personal and family viewing, I'm also going to document that I have had quite a lot of breast tenderness since the very beginning. In fact, I noticed that things didn't feel right and were extremely painful the night before I took the first test. That really has not subsided but it is certainly something I can deal with. Just keeping my fingers crossed that I'm one of the 25% who have no morning sickness, fatigue, nausea, etc! Otherwise continuing to feel great!

Your Dad also likes to refer to you as "Biggie Smalls" whenever we talk about you, and I have told him a million times that that is NOT happening, because that is the very name he throws out every time a cat happens to be nameless. I will not give in, nor refer to you as Biggie Smalls. Last night, I had my first feeling that you are going to be a...Boy. Not sure why or where it came from, but for right now that is my gut feeling. So then Daddy began calling you "LD" for "Little Daniel." I told him I didn't think it was appropriate because there is still a 50/50 chance you are a girl and asked "then what?" To which he replied, "It still can be LD-for Little Devil because she will be a mini-you." It was all fun and games but that is not what I am going to call you. So, before you have an official name it is looking like you may have several. Daddy is going to call you LD apparently, and I am going to call you Bug.

We are SO looking forward to telling our families about you this coming week at graduation.  Can't even wait! Prayers and Love in Week 7!
