This week, in my body...

Week 11:

 Your baby (now about two inches long) has been pretty busy this week, growing hair follicles, fingernails, and ovaries (if she's a girl). She has distinct human characteristics by now, with hands and feet in front of the body, ears nearly in their final shape, open nasal passages on the tip of her tiny nose, a tongue and palate in the mouth, and visible nipples. Hooray!

(from what to expect.... I prefer the mayo clinic guide... more sciencey) 

So, yes. This is what is going on in there. Out here, all I want to do is sleep sleep sleep. It's a little crazy. I am happy with 12 hours per night. Very happy. What else is going on? Constipation? yes. Gas? yes. Bloating? yes. Showing? yes. Tits sore? yes. Nipples changing color? yes. My cunt is also a completely different cunt. It's very strange, to have that particular part of me practically unrecognizable so early in the game. I have totally been having food aversions and cravings. It's not like I get a hankering for something, but more like I see someone with fried chicken and I MUST have it NOW. Or I hear the words mac and cheese and I will not be satisfied until it's in my mouth. Funny. 

Today we chose a different midwife, someone in Olympia. Her name is Audrey. She's Jewish, and very lovely on the phone. She's also good friends with the midwife we were going to go with here. We meet her Wednesday. I'm really fucking excited, and really happy we found a Jewish midwife. Mara's a Jew, and we want to raise the baby Jewish, and since I'm not I feel like really, the more Jews involved the better. I got all my insurance crap sorted out today, too. And marbles is buying a car right now. It's a TCB kind of day. 

I also just finished the first GSA meeting that people showed up to. It was wonderful. I am pretty sure all the kids there were straight, and we spent most of the time talking about what GLBTIQQ all stand for and how fucking complicated it is... And we brainstormed about future meetings. The kids were AMAZING. I'd like to come with more resources next week. Gotta get on the phone. I have been having such a hard time getting phone-related things done lately. It's part of just wanting to sleep, I think. 

Well. I haven't had internet access, cause I've been house sitting. I'm waiting for the brute now, on her computer, so playing catch up, or trying to. I feel out of the LJ loop.
