We are in week 9

We are half way through week 9. I was able to go for my first prenatal massage this week. Usually they do not accept someone in the first trimester but I had a note from my doctor that it was okay. They accepted me with some hesitation since I'm in my first trimester but I was happy about them okaying the massage as I really needed one. I had to change therapists as I had to use someone who specializes in prenatal. The massage was not as deep or thorough as I generally would get which leaves my back in some discomfort but I love being pregnant and therefore wouldn't change anything.

Here is the update from BabyCenter on how the baby is growing in week 9.
Your new resident is nearly an inch long — about the size of a grape — and weighs just a fraction of an ounce. She's starting to look more and more human. Her essential body parts are accounted for, though they'll go through plenty of fine-tuning in the coming months. Other changes abound: Your baby's heart finishes dividing into four chambers, and the valves start to form — as do her tiny teeth. The embryonic "tail" is completely gone. Your baby's organs, muscles, and nerves are kicking into gear. The external sex organs are there but won't be distinguishable as male or female for another few weeks. Her eyes are fully formed, but her eyelids are fused shut and won't open until 27 weeks. She has tiny earlobes, and her mouth, nose, and nostrils are more distinct. The placenta is developed enough now to take over most of the critical job of producing hormones. Now that your baby's basic physiology is in place, she's poised for rapid weight gain.

FYI - although "she" is poised for rapid weight gain her mother is not. I have lost a few pounds in the last few weeks but I will need to closely monitor my weight and make sure that I am gain the amount of weight that the doctor recommends. Although my weight loss is very slow (at times non existent) I want to keep the baby healthy and I would prefer not to have to work off any unnecessary weight gain.
