6 weeks
Wow! How time flies! 6 weeks already, seems like just yesterday I was overjoyed about my bfp!
Baby: Size of a small lentil bean (4 to 5 millimeters across) Baby's heart starts to beat, though it's almost impossible to hear. By the end of this week, buds on ends of embryonic arms and legs grow into webs that will become fingers and toes & blood will be circulating throughout our little baby embryo. Her intestines are developing and tiny breathing passages are beginning to appear where her lungs will be. She's also starting to build muscle fibers and, halfway through this week, she'll likely start moving her tiny limbs. (taken in substantive part from BabyCenter & Pregnancy.org)
Me: VERY fatigued still. Tender bb's, backache, and mild cramping are regular du jour symptoms. Yesterday, felt some nausea. Other very noticeable symptom is "mask of pregnancy, or brown spots on my face! Regrettably, from the vivelle estradiol/estrogen patches. I went back and read up, and yes, it is a side effect of the patches. I'm dreading them getting worse and I've been avoiding the sun like the plague as it only worsens symptoms. Dear sis said she had the same and has a cream she recommends. Of course, I'll have to wait til AFTER the baby is born to use it....darn these little brown patches!
Dad: Still overjoyed, still nesting. Yesterday, we told the IL's we're pregnant. Asked MIL to pray for us. FIL & MIL continue to debate the boy/girl issue. FIL wants a boy MIL, a girl. Both joust back and forth about which it will be and who will "win" We've decided that FIL has a 66% chance of being right, MIL 33%.
Update on A:
Got an email from her, she had more contractions yesterday, and they were able to stpo them. She's at the WH, where I suspected she'd be, still in very good hands. I plan on sending flowers but don't know whether I should "visit" her personally. I know its very touchy and go, and don't know what's the proper protocol at this point.
Today, I plan on setting out my Fall/Harvest decorations, I have plenty to choose from as this is my favorite season of all. Love opening the door to fresh cool breeze feeling. Hubby agress with me. I also enjoy hthe Harvest moon, which my mom absolutely loves and points out every chance she gets. Yes, I'll be decorating today and prepping for my favorite season....
