This week your baby has an amazing growth spurt. At the beginning of this week, your baby is approximately 4 to 5 mm and by the end of the week it has more than doubled to 11 to 13 mm! Your baby weights approximately 0.03 ounces. Most women are ready for the world to know they are pregnant. Your baby's leg and arm buds are longer now and they have divided into segments where the hands and feet will be. The hands and feet also have an area where the fingers and toes will begin to form. At this point of your pregnancy, the heart is bulging from the body and it has divided into right and left chambers. The brain's hemispheres are continuing to grow and the air passages into the lungs are visible. Your baby's eyes are beginning to get pigment. The nose is developing and the beginning of the face can be seen. Your baby is the size of a blueberry or a small pencil earser.
We went to the doctor last Tuesday to see this little star and everything is going great. Measured in at 5mm and we got to see the heartbeat. We couldnt hear it yet and go back on the 27th for our 8 week ultrasound to see and hear the heartbeat! We are so excited.
I am feeling really tired and neasous all the time. I have gone nights with no sleep and throwing up, but I know it is all worth it! I am just hoping that it all goes away at 13 weeks, eventhough that is a long time from now! I am also having really bad gas pains! It is so weird the things your body does when you are pregnant! We have ultrasound pictures and belly pictures to post soon, I am behind already!
I have overwhelming feelings lately of having a miscarriage and am so terrified of that happening! But I know that God has a plan for us either way, I am just praying for now!
Happy Monday!
