For some reason a few years ago, in the beach house, the word fetus became my favorite of all time. I think because it is such a weird word and makes people feel a little uncomfortable. Now I have one inhabiting my uterus! How fun.
Our embryo is officially a fetus and is the size of an olive or grape.
I am very irritable lately! People annoy me constantly and I cry about stupid things. We have this tea cup in our bathroom that holds Q-tips and I really love the colors and pattern on it. I was sitting on the sink yesterday and accidentally knocked it off the counter and it broke to pieces. I made a sad face and Justin said, "honey, please don't cry" and I proceeded to cry over the broken, BEAUTIFUL tea cup. Ha.
=) I understand the crying. Seriously, sometimes I'd just cry for NO REASON. The fetus (fetus, fetus, fetus!) just does weird things to you...just you wait!
ReplyDeleteAW! I so wish you could come visit us! So that you could see the fetus' at the Museum (also so that I could hang out with you). You'd be surprise how LARGE an olive she actually is!
ReplyDeleteoh Jessica, i am seriously so happy for you! you are going to be an awesome Mom! i absolutely LOVE being a Mom, babies are such a gift from God! I look forward to hearing more about your pregnancy!
ReplyDeleteMost days, I still can't believe you are having a baby. I was tutoring a student the other day. And he asked me what an olive was. I tried to explain. Then we found the word in his language. He was still clueless.
