7 Weeks - A Blueberry! - 5/26/09

Ok...so I'm 7 weeks today, and I'd say it's safe to say that the nausea thing has set in, although it's not as terrible as some have it. I generally feel queasy and food in general seems unappealing, but eventually I get hungry enough to hunker down and eat something. Dairy products usually seem the most appealing, but even as I type I can't imagine eating even some cottage cheese (shocker!!). =)

• "if you could see inside your womb, you'd spot eyelid folds partially covering her peepers, which already have some color, as well as the tip of her nose and tiny veins beneath parchment-thin skin. Hands and feet are emerging from developing arms and legs — although they look more like paddles at this point than the tiny, pudgy extremities you're daydreaming about holding and tickling. Both hemispheres of your baby's brain are growing, and her liver is churning out red blood cells until her bone marrow forms and takes over this role. She also has an appendix and a pancreas, which will eventually produce the hormone insulin to aid in digestion. A loop in your baby's growing intestines is bulging into her umbilical cord, which now has distinct blood vessels to carry oxygen and nutrients to and from her tiny body."

Here is the baby's size this week:


First preggo picture of me coming up soon - as soon as I have a chance to use the laptop to upload the image (dumb Acer can't read my 4 Gig memory card...)
