Week 7: Blueberry. Average embryo — 1.3cmBaby's brain -- both hemispheres! -- is growing fast, generating about 100 new cells every minute. Arms and legs are emerging as joints start to form, and a permanent set of kidneys (baby's third!) is now in place.

Well we told the in-laws this weekend, and I feel much better now that they know :) Have lots of other people to inform yet, but they know!
I made Ben a t-shirt that says "big brother in training", and put it into a collage for one of those coffee tumblers for Mom (something that she has been wanting). We gave it to her after dinner, Ben helped her open it and then she was able to look at all the smiley faces of her grandson on it. Then she noticed THE picture! She read it aloud, then asked if he really IS a big brother in training! We nodded yes and then it was big hugs :) Now all feels right in the world that I can talk about it with Mom as she is such an important person on my life.
They leave tomorrow morning and are taking Ben with them for the week.. the timing couldn't be better! A week of relaxing and doing things around the house (and working of course!) will be very nice. Will miss the gaffer so very much, but will love him that much more when we see him on Saturday!!

I just love that photo of Ben!!
He's like 'aaaa heeeeey mommmmm!'. That's all I can think when I see that photo.
Yes, I am very happy with that photo, too!!
Maybe in his head he is saying "GO AWAY!" His new favourite phrase :)
Yeah, another blog to save under my favorites. :-)
Love Ben's special t-shirt! You are full of talent!
I can only imagine their delight. And since I'm so darn slow at coming to this new blog, I hope you had a great week, and that you actually got some sleep! That first trimester is so tiring.
