This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil.
Week 6- All About Mama Smith
Baby Bump: Just bloat from time to time
Weight Gain: Not sure, but I doubt I've gained anything. I haven't felt like eating much lately.
Maternity Clothes: Right now my regular clothes are too big because I've lost weight, so I think it'll be awhile before I need to make the switch.
Stretch Marks: Nope
Aches & Pains: Well, it has all started for me. RLPs, morning sickness (all day sickness), dizziness, fatigue, etc. If it's a pregnancy symptom, I'm feeling it. I'm ready to be out of the first tri!!!
Sleep: Hasn't been so bad, but I'm got the pregnancy tiredness, so I've had no troubles falling asleep.
Baby Movement: Nope, but at night I lay with my hand on my belly and feel gas bubbles which reminds me of babe movement. Such a nice feeling!!
Food Cravings/Aversions: I'm having major food aversions! Everything smells bad to me and being here in Japan where everything smells like fish is about to kill me. Nana was listing off Christmas dinner menu and not one thing sounded good. :( I am however, craving a club sandwich, a JJ turkey sub, Mama's chicken puffs, meatloaf and mashed potatoes, green beans, fresh fruit, caesar salad, etc.
Gender: I can't wait until our big ultrasound to see if all these "girl" dreams I've been having are right on. :)
Belly Button: No change
What I Miss: Alcohol, home, and everything about the States!!!
Looking Forward To: Calling Grandma Westfall on Thanksgiving to tell her the news!
Energy Level: Low, low, low!
