Just some little tidbits :)

We've decided we're going to try out calling our baby 'Cletus' as in 'Cletus the fetus'... hehe... is that terrible? I could always give it a nickname like Lettie or something - which sounds equally ridiculous, but kind of fun :)
We'll keep you updated!

I love looking at the descriptions of our our little baby is doing! Here's a description of some 8 week activity - a few more days and our babe will be 9 weeks! :)

8 week description------
"This week of pregnancy your baby is a not even an inch in length, but about the size of a cherry.
Your baby's eye lids are beginning to form, but until their growth is complete; the eyes look open. The tip of the nose is present and the ears are forming internally and externally.
Your baby's heart has 140-150 fluttering beats per minute- about twice as many as yours!
Arms are growing, and wrists and elbows are evident. Your baby's hands and feet are shaped like paddles, while the fingers and toes are beginning to form. Muscle contractions are starting, but early movements aren't noticeable to you"

I LOVE that the heart is beating! So exciting!
My biggest pregnancy challenge this weekend was fatigue - I am SO tired. I tried to exercise, and I was able to exercise for 12 minutes, basically hanging on the elliptical during the last two.... my goal was 20 minutes!! Oh well - I went for a 20 minute walk yesterday, that was good! And the plan is to start maybe with 7 minute elliptical times and work my way up..... I read somewhere that after 13 weeks I'll feel a 'glorious burst of new energy' - won't that be nice? Because I'm just TIRED! :)

Thank goodness it's a 2 day work week for me this week - because of Thanksgiving!
Love
