MacNut Week 6


The spotting hasn't stopped.  There was significant bleeding one day and we made an ultrasound appointment.  Result below. :)


This week is brought to you by the letter V.  V is for vomit.  It has hit me big time and I am not a fan.  How can something the size of a lentil cause so much ruckus?!!

Technically, this is what's going on this week:
  • MacNut is the size of a lentil.
  • The arms and legs continue to develop - These limbs are stretching out more and more. Later on you will be feeling those feet and elbows up close and personal right in your bladder!
  • Brain is growing well - Did you know that over the course of the remaining months that your baby's brain will develop over 100 billion neurons? This is just the beginning!
  • Lenses of the eyes appear - If you could catch a glimpse inside, you would notice your baby's appearance becoming increasing like a newborn's.
  • Nostrils are formed - The position of the nose seems to shift into its proper place as well. Soon, the nerves running from the nose to the brain appear.
  • Intestines grow - Initially these are actually located outside the baby's body within the umbilical cord.
  • Pancreas - Your baby is now equipped to deal with digestive enzymes and take on processing the insulin and glucagons the body needs to function.
Physical:
  • Weight: 126 lb (+0)
  • Belly circumference: 30.50 in (+0)
  • On top of having no appetite, nausea is hitting me like crazy.  Started vomiting this week, too (v1, v2, and v3).
Spiritual & emotional:
  • My physical state really affects my mood.  I just feel like crap!
