Yosef Karo, Translation:Shulchan Aruch — Orach Chaim 489…
“ The mitzvah is for each individual to count for himself. One should count standing, and recite a blessing first. The days and weeks are counted. How? On the first day one says: "Today it is one day (in the Omer) ," until seven days are reached; then he says: "Today it is seven days that are one week (in the Omer) ." On the eighth day one says: "Today it is eight days that are one week and one day (in the Omer) ," and so on till fourteen days are reached. [Then] one says: "Today it is fourteen days that are two weeks (in the Omer) ." In this manner one goes on counting, up to forty-nine days. ”
