The theme word for this week: nausea.
Technically, this is what's going on this week:
- MacNut is the size of a sesame seed.
- First heartbeats begin - If you have an early ultrasound you may not be able to recognize this tiny being as a baby, but there is no mistaking what it feels like seeing your child's heartbeat on that screen. That rhythmic beat is echoed in your own heart.
- Umbilical cord develops - This is your baby's lifeline in utero. It bears the responsibility of pumping in oxygen, removing waste, and supplying the necessary nutrients for the remainder of your pregnancy.
- Blood is now pumping - All four heart chambers are now functioning, insuring your baby's body will receive all it needs over not only the remainder of your pregnancy but throughout life.
- Most other organs begin to develop - Your infant's lungs start to appear, along with her brain. Already your little one is preparing for a quest for lifelong learning!
- Arm and leg buds appear
- Weight: 127 lb (+1)
- Belly circumference: 30.50 in (+0)
- Definitely feeling a difference in my appetite. Slower gut motility. Nausea. This is not good. :(
- Also started some spotting. :(
- I'm pretty emotional this week. Just cranky.
- Spiritually, I had passing moments of doubts that God is in control. But then I am reminded of how God has worked throughout my history and I feel fine. Really.
