8 Weeks Pregnant! or 2 Months! 7 months to go...

So above is what our baby should look like. A lot of the major organs should be forming and the baby has their final set of kidneys formed. The baby supposedly twitches and has brain waves!! Cool huh. I feel a little more tired than last week in school. I get really tired and if I don't lay down for a little bit I will feel worse. I get weepy too quite a bit, as the "What to Expect" book calls it.  This probably no surprise to anyone who knows me pretty well, I'm known to cry about lots of things. Anyway, I watched a birthing movie and I think I want to do it all natural.  There is just something about it that makes me think that it would be the hardest thing to overcome and really rewarding. Plus I don't want to be depleted of any of the love hormones that the baby sends you that the medication does take away. I would also like to do it in maybe a bath tub or some position that would have gravity on my side. The bathtub idea is that it is less painful and traumatic for the little one. I'm a little freaked out about the pain that is inevitably going to come in about 7 months. Ah! But I hope that from thinking about it often and deciding more about it I will be more mentally prepared. I don't think it is bad to use medication. More than likely I will end up using medication but I hope I don't. I was telling Meg that I will probably try every birthing option ever tried besides C-section or a Vac unless it is necessary, but I just think it would be cool to experience all the different ways that women have done it. Anyway, more updates to come.  Oh and I have officially graduated to a raspberry. The little raspberry is about 1/2-3/4 of and inch! Wow! Soo awesome!
