5 weeks
Pregnant until proven otherwise...
5 wks: Baby is the size of a Sesame seed
The embryo becomes three layers. The outer layer becomes the brain, nerves, and skin. The placenta becomes fully functional.
The middle layer becomes the bones, muscles, blood vessels, heart, and sex organs.
The inner layer becomes the stomach, liver, intestines, lungs, and urinary tract.
Mommy to be:
More spotting this weekend, this morning, cramps all weekend. Backache; very super tender bb's; still OHSS, although I'm down to 134lbs. now; super tired all the time;
Daddy to be: Taking care of me well, took me to get some clothes that fit; Still keeping the faith; Has taken over household chores for mommy-to-be; Feeding the troop. Still is the only one to change the kitty litter; putting my socks on for me when I can't reach (OHSS has me pretty bloated!); making me breakfast....always a jewel.
Spoke to Uncle Bobby yesterday (Sunday) He's going through training camp; says its hard. "it's for young guys" He's 40, after a 20 year career in the Marines, he retired and is now undergoing the training for the Sheriff's Department. He is in great shape & very stubborn, so for him to say its hard & for young 'uns, I know he means it. Still haven't told him. He's the one that coined the term "test tube babyyyyyy" when someone does something dumb.....hmmmm... how will I ever tell him? LOL
Edited to add: Todays' beta number: 2,585...doubling nicely and as expected. 1st ultrasound is Wednesday @ 9am--squeezing me in before the doc leaves on vacation@
