Belly Shot! 9 weeks 5 days

Week 10 (24th-30th)

Congratulations! Your baby is now officially called a "fetus." It looks a little like a medium shrimp, measuring 1.25 to 1.68 inches from crown to rump, and weighing a little less than two-tenths of an ounce. You might be reassured to know that most physical malformations, when they occur, have occurred by the end of this week, so the most critical part of your baby's development is safely behind you. But other developmental processes, such as those affecting behavior and intelligence, will continue throughout pregnancy. Eyes are covered by skin that will eventually split to form eyelids.

mom gave me a bunch of ariana's old baby clothes. Dante says I'm going to have a girl lol.. hopefully he's right... my cat is licking my shirt... lol Susan knocked on the door upstairs and Blue jumped down and started growling. I think he's probably been scared all night because of the storm.. I feel bad because I was at my mom's house during it. My sister didn't want to go to her apartment building in case there was a tornado. She doesn't feel it is as safe as my mothers apartment building so we stayed there until it stopped hailing and stopped raining so hard and waited for the wind to die down. I think george is excited about the baby. He kept coming up to me and putting his arms around me saying "oh you're going to be a mom and blah blah blah" it was so funny.. and my mom said that when they went to the store he was looking at the "expecting mothers" cards for Mother's Day lol. Awww isn't that sweet!

Happy Mother's Day!

I got the nicest card and the prettiest roses from clayton today. awwww :::tear::: Thank you! I Love You SOOOOOO Much!

Pregnancy Test

Grandma called mommy today and said "Keri, come over, I bought you something". Mom had plans with Auntie Amy, so she told Auntie and they both went over to Grandma's. Somehow, grandma knew I was growing inside of mom and she bought mom a pregnancy test. After about a half hour, mom decided to take it. Mom already knew she was PG, she had all the symptoms and no period. A little while after she took the test, Auntie Amy said it was done. Grandma said "Hold on, I have to get my glasses or I won't be able to see". Auntie Amy came out of the bathroom, laughing "you won't need your glasses to see this" and sure enough it was positive. The line was the brightest/darkest HPT line she'd ever seen! I was 4 weeks and 5 days old.

A forwarded email from my Mother

Just for this morning, I am
going to step over the laundry,
and pick you up and take you to the park to
play.

Just for this morning, I will
leave the dishes in the sink,
and let you teach me how to put that puzzle
of yours together.

Just for this afternoon, I will
unplug the telephone and
keep the computer off, and sit with you in the
backyard and blow bubbles.

Just for this afternoon, I will
not yell once, not even a
tiny grumble when
you scream and whine for the ice
cream truck, and I will buy you one if
he comes by.

Just for this afternoon, I won't
worry about what you are
going to be when you grow up, or second guess
every decision I have made
where you are concerned.

Just for this afternoon, I will let
you help me bake cookies, and I won't
stand over you trying to fix them.

Just for this afternoon, I will take
us to McDonald's and buy us both a
Happy Meal so you can have both toys.

Just for this evening, I will hold
you in my arms and tell you a story
about how you were born and how
much I love you.

Just for this evening, I will let
you splash in the tub and
not get angry.

Just for this evening, I will let
you stay up late while we sit on the
porch and count all the stars.

Just for this evening, I will
snuggle beside you for hours,
and miss my favorite TV shows.

Just for this evening when I run
my finger through your hair
as you pray, I will simply be grateful that God
has given me the greatest gift ever
given.

I will think about the mothers
And fathers who are searching
for their missing children,
the mothers and fathers who are
visiting their children's graves
instead of their bedrooms, and mothers and
fathers who are in hospital rooms watching
their children suffer senselessly, and screaming inside that
they can't handle it anymore.

And when I kiss you good night I
will hold you a little tighter, a
little longer. It is then, that I will
thank God for you, and ask
him for nothing, except one more day.............
