I made it to the two-month mark! Here is how my baby is developing according to http://www.babycenter.com/:
New this week: Webbed fingers and toes are poking out from your baby's hands and feet, his eyelids practically cover his eyes, breathing tubes extend from his throat to the branches of his developing lungs, and his "tail" is just about gone. In his brain, nerve cells are branching out to connect with one another, forming primitive neural pathways. You may be daydreaming about your baby as one sex or the other, but the external genitals still haven't developed enough to reveal whether you're having a boy or a girl. Either way, your baby — about the size of a kidney bean — is constantly moving and shifting, though you still can't feel it.
Yesterday I had a bazzar experience. Tim and I were putting groceries in our car at the store and a man drove up asking directions to a restaurant. I walked away to put the cart away as Tim was talking to him. On my way back to the car I see the man jerk his head and make some kind of loud noise, and then drive off. When we got in the car Tim told me that after he gave the directions the man started to say thank you, but sneezed, so it went something like, "A CHOOOO! Thank you!" and for some reason, the situation and the way Tim said it just struck me as hillarious and I started laughing and couldn't stop. I was laughing for a good 5 minutes or so, and then all of a sudden started bawling. Now, I have laughed so hard I cried before, but this felt different. I was leaning forward, laughing then all this emotion just started pouring out, and I'm making sobbing noises and I look at Tim and say, "I don't think I'm laughing anymore." But as soon as I said that, I did start laughing and then I was laughing and crying at the same time. Talk about mood swing! That was a really strange one!! On the way home from school earlier that afternoon I was thinking about my dad for some reason and just reliving everything that happened, and I think that kind of slipped in my brain when I was laughing which could have triggered the crying but I'm not sure. It was a weird feeling though!
And then this morning when I was bending over to get something, a nerve in my lower back spasmed and it's been hurting all day. I can barely get out of a chair, and walking is a chore. This is not good since Tim and I have a 6 hour car ride tonight to Boston. The only thing I can take is Tylenol, and it hasn't helped.
Well, those are my crazy pregnancy stories! Hope you have a great weekend!

I love your explanations of where the baby is at each week. Makes him or her seem so very real. I'm sorry you hurt your back. I hope it is better by now. I understand the sudden mood swings especially concerning your dad. I can be going along having a really good day and out of the blue something triggers my mind about him or something that happened when he was alive and I could cry a bucket. I think it is normal especially in your condition. I'm just so glad you have Tim as a support. You are both such special people and good for each other.
As for Max - he can live outside as far as I'm concerned.
Love you and can't wait to see you and your little tummy.
