olive you!

Our little thing (or "it" as my sister so generously likes to call it) is now the size of a green olive. This week, "your little embryo has now officially graduated to fetus-hood. Adding to the excitement, a Doppler ultrasound device might be able to pick up the beating heart. With basic physical structures in place and increasingly distinct facial features, baby is kind of starting to look like... well... a baby!" Pretty amazing! I'm going to call this week to find out exactly what our appointment on Friday will entail (other than the piles of paperwork and family history questions). I'm hoping we'll be able to hear the heartbeat and not have to wait another two-three weeks. I took off the entire day (just because!) so I only have a four day work week! Hallelujah.

It's been a long weekend without the hubby and I'm exhausted... I'm off to watch some Oscar red carpet and eat Ben and Jerry's (just because!) all night. Oh yeah, p.s. screw you, Ralph Nader.
