9 weeks along....only 31 to go!

So, this is my first blog on the baby's webpage! I find it amusing that my baby has a blog before I have one...just proves this baby is already a very interesting person!  At this point I am nine weeks pregnant, although some sources would argue this and say I'm eight and a half.  But either way you look at it this baby is getting bigger every day although by looking at me you wouldn't know it yet!!!! YAY!  :)  This week the baby's "tail" is completely gone, and yes, I said tail.  Jerad was looking at a picture of an 8 week old baby in one of our books the other day and very sweetly said, "Honey, are you aware that we're making a dinosaur?" So the exciting news this week is that little "Dino's" tail is gone! Peanut is about an inch long (about the size of a large grape for those of you who identify with the fruit terms...) and weighs less than an ounce. And I have no idea right now how that relates to grams, sorry Canadians.  Some new organs are forming this week: the liver, spleen and gallbladder...and Peanut is already moving even though I won't be able to feel him/her for quite a while yet.  The update with me is that I'm TIRED!!! I love naps.  I haven't really had any cravings except one: cream of broccoli soup, but I'm not sure I can pin that on the pregnancy-Shayna, I know you understand!  I'm not consistently nauseous but I have had some occasions where my tummy has not been very happy...today for one, was not a good day.  Thank you all for your prayers! It is such a blessing to know that this baby is already loved by friends who have never even met us....yet!  It's time for us to go to bed, we have more growing to do!!!!!

So this is Shay here (the bestie lol). As I set up this blog for Shanna, and the baby I have affectionately named "Peanut", I thought I would get things started by showing a pre-baby belly picture. This picture was taken in the summer of 2008 and I can't wait to see what the belly will look like at the same time next year!! Also, I assure that Shanna's actions in this picture will be saved exclusively for me when I am being sassy and never will poor peanut see this side of Mom. :)
