Wow, what a busy week. Well, some sad news at first. My grandmother, Carol Faulkner Lord, passed away last week. She actually died on her birthday. :( I'm glad she is no longer in pain, at the same time, I really miss her. It has been a hard week trying to deal with her passing.
I wasn't really planning on going camping this last weekend, but because of my grandmother passing, I didn't really want to be alone, so we all went to Kodachrome Canyon with the family. Kodachrome was beautiful! However, the gnats attacked the babies and I spent most of the vacation inside the trailer. Plus it did a number on my allergies.
Then just last week we went up to Eden, UT at the Wolf Creek Resort. That was a lot of fun, we enjoyed swimming and playing many rounds of phase 10. Braedan didn't enjoy swimming so much, as he had his first "underwater" experience and didn't like that too much. I think I need to get him into swimming lessons soon, so he don't create a fear of water.
Let's see.. 8 weeks.. the allergies are the big kicker this week. Morning sickness is there too, but I notice if I can't smell.. it doesn't flare up. As soon as I can smell.. well yeah.. morning sickness all the way. So it's like.. do I don't want to smell or do I want to throw up? I have to add that the Nettipot is the most amazing invention ever. It worked wonders with me! I will sing it's praises all day long.
Here's a cute picture of a representation of my baby right now:
And another one:
Your baby is growing at an amazing rate — about a millimeter every day — and now is the size of a large raspberry. Your little berry is looking a lot less reptilian (even though she has webbed fingers and toes, her tail is just about gone) and a lot more baby-like these days, as her lips, nose, eyelids, legs, and back continue to take shape. Her heart is beating at the incredible rate of 150 times per minute — about twice as fast as yours! And even though you can't yet feel it, she's now making spontaneous movements as she twitches her tiny trunk and limb buds.
