Today I had my first visit with my Dr, and got to see the baby. It was such an awsome feeling to see the little guy bouncing around and kincking and stretching and we even got to see the heart beating really fast. We didn't get to hear the heart beating like we wanted to, but it's okay. We did see toes, fingers, legs, tummy area and a Big Big head, oya a little nose. so cute.
My sister-in-law gave birth to lil Marcus Jr. on fathers day. I love his light colored eyes and chubby cheeks.
My last morning in Pensacola was very nice and relaxing. I wanted to get up early to watch the sunrise and so we did just that. We took long walks on the beach and found some nice seashells and even saw stingrays in the water.
Pregnancy week nine. What's going on with your body? Those hormones are in full force, not to mention some dull cramping. Read on for more information about your ninth week of pregnancy.
Pregnancy does odd things to your skin. It's all those hormones! Some women break out as though each little pore were Mount Vesuvius. "Kablooey! Thar she blows!" For other, more fortunate women, bumpy complexions smooth to the softness of a rose. (Don't gloat... pregnancy has its share of inconveniences for everyone.) As your pregnancy progresses, your complexion may even out, though some women need to wait until after the baby is born before having nice skin again.
Later in pregnancy, some women develop a "mask" of dark pigment around their eyes, on their noses, and cheeks. This is called the chloasma and will slowly fade once you are a mom. If you develop this "mask of pregnancy":
Help! What's that dull cramping? As the uterus begins to stretch, you may feel a dull aching and cramping. You may even find a slight brownish or reddish discharge. So long as the cramping is not severe, and the spotting is not bright red, you are probably just fine. Your uterus is beginning to grow, and the sensation you feel is the "round" ligaments beginning to stretch. This should lessen in the second and third trimester.
This week your baby is about the size of an olive. His face is rounding out and begining to look more and more human (and less like a tadpole, now that his "tail" is nearly gone). His heart is developing and now houses all four chambers. Although not yet distinguishable, his sex organs are starting to develop, too.
Most women have conflicting feelings about pregnancy throughout this time. Even if the two of you had trouble conceiving, Mom will go through mood swings. Both of you will worry about the financial and psychological responsibility of parenthood. It is normal! Talk to each other about what you are thinking and what you are experiencing. Check out books on pregnancy and talk to friends who have children. Compare notes! You will probably find that others share the same concerns and perhaps have found solutions that will work for the two of you.

Rich had the most awesome surprise at work today. He is getting ready to leave this command with his new orders to Norfolk, Va and he recently made board for Chief and is working on getting is package sent out. He was presented with the Navy Commendation award and is just so stoked. This is a really big award that is usually only awarded to Chiefs and up but he has worked so hard this past tour and he deserves this medal. I'm am always proud of what my Sailor does when it comes to his career he has really blossomed into one of the best. Way to go champ! We are so proud of you and Love you soooooo soooo very much.
I parked at this meter for 2 hours and when I realize that the meter was going to expire soon, I had to get down the 103 floor of the sears town and run over 5 blocks to my car and it had 1second left on the meter
