This week starts a period of rapid cellular development for your baby-to-be, who looks like a mini tadpole, with a tiny head and tail. His or her eyes, ears and mouth have begun to form (though they're a little more Discovery Channel "creatures of the sea" documentary than Gerber Baby at this point).Other exciting milestones include:Your baby's heart is now beating to a regular beat, although it's still too faint to hear.His or her arm buds are just beginning to, well, bud. They look like teensy swollen bumps at this point. In a few days, they'll resemble itsy-bitsy flippers.Your baby has grown to ⅛ inch long—about the size of one of the chocolate sprinkles on your last cupcake (and your last ice cream cone, and your last sundae and your last giant cookie ... maybe there is something to those rumors about pregnancy cravings!).
The only thing about the 6 week mark that I have noticed is that I've been sick:( yuck
It started wednesday night and hasn't gone away. It's horrible, ok maybe I'm being dramatic but it def sucks. It's just an all over nausea. I'm trying to read up on different remedies to help so far the best one is stick it out til the 2nd trimester...
For now my new favorite snack is ginerale and crackers. But apparently there is no real ginger in my ginger ale. strange.
I'm supposed to work overtime today til 12 but I think I will stay home and just be sick here rather than work. I'm so glad its the weekend. I really need to clean the house, it hasn't been cleaned since Mother's Day so you can imagine what it looks like. ha
In other news, I haven't had anymore heartburn:) woohoo
