Today I hit the 7 week mark. I'm relieved, but still feel as if I'm walking on eggshells all at the same time. Just two and a half more weeks until our first ultrasound. I'm scared and excited all at the same time!
This week has been the roughest one for me yet! While I have yet to actually get sick, I stay nauseated most of the day. I can't eat without gagging and just the idea of certain foods makes me cringe. If I could just get rid of this cold I have, I think I would feel tons better. My list from the doctor says I can take Tylenol Cold, but at this point I just don't want to. I know, I know..."then don't complain." It still sucks though!
Now on to my sweet, sweet bebe! This week bebe grows to the size of a blueberry (1/3 to 1/4 inches long) and weighs the same as an eye lash. Isn't that crazy?? It's teeny tiny brain cells are growing 100 per minute and its little skull is see through! The face becomes more defined this week, as the hole for the mouth, tongue, nostril and ear indentions become more visible. Even though it doesn't have any irises yet, bebe's eyes are wide open now! The arm and leg buds are growing and will look like tiny paddles by the end of the week and the umbilical cord is now showing.
Here's what bebe looks like this week:
Here's a picture of a blueberry:
grow bebe grow!!
