6 weeks pregnant!

My baby is the size of a sweet pea. Your baby is starting to look more and more like a little organic being during pregnancy week 6. Dark spots should be forming where your baby's eyes and nostrils will eventually take shape. There should also be small pits on the sides of the head where the ears will develop, and tiny buds that will eventually form into the arms and legs. For several weeks your baby's hands and feet will be connected by a layer of webbing between the fingers and toes. Your baby will start responding to sensory input and start moving on his own in the next few weeks.

At 6 weeks of pregnancy, your baby's heart should now be beating at about 100 to 140 beats per minute and blood will start circulating throughout your baby's body. Your health care practitioner may be able to see the beating of the heartbeat using ultrasound, though it may still be a few weeks before the heartbeat is detectable via a Doppler device.

Did you know that your baby would actually be able to display reflexes in response to touch even at 6 weeks? This is because the central nervous system is already developing and linking the muscles in the body with the limbs. You'll learn even more amazing facts as you follow your pregnancy week by week.

How am I feeling? Well I am getting nausea but no morning sickness so far. Good sign? I hope. I would love to take the extra money and buy a new car that is bigger for my family. So maybe I am having a boy? I hope so. First appointment tomorrow. Yippee. I will update then.

Five weeks and blood test says postive!!!!!!

Got my blood results back today! Positive!! knew it though. So excited. Going shopping and out to dinner to celebrate.

Five weeks!

How your baby's growing:
Deep in your uterus your embryo is growing at a furious pace. At this point, he's about the size of a sesame seed, and he looks more like a tiny tadpole than a human. He's now made up of three layers — the ectoderm, the mesoderm, and the endoderm — which will later form all of his organs and tissues.

The neural tube — from which your baby's brain, spinal cord, nerves, and backbone will sprout — is starting to develop in the top layer, called the ectoderm. This layer will also give rise to his skin, hair, nails, mammary and sweat glands, and tooth enamel.

His heart and circulatory system begin to form in the middle layer, or mesoderm. (This week, in fact, his tiny heart begins to divide into chambers and beat and pump blood.) The mesoderm will also form your baby's muscles, cartilage, bone, and subcutaneous (under skin) tissue.

The third layer, or endoderm, will house his lungs, intestines, and rudimentary urinary system, as well as his thyroid, liver, and pancreas. In the meantime, the primitive placenta and umbilical cord, which deliver nourishment and oxygen to your baby, are already on the job.

How am I feeling? Tired, sore, and a little nauseated. But the nausea has not even started yet. Next week is the week I am going to worry. Next week on Tuesday I am gong to make my first appointment I am super excited. Very Very tired though> I have been sleeping like crazy. Which makes my sex life non existing. Hopefully the sleepiness goeas away soon. Five weeks cannot believe it.

Crying like a big baby!

This last week I have been crying about goofy things. Like I cried over a coffee commercial and the song "Hang on Sloppy". About anything can bring me to tears these days. I am very happy though and very excited about having another child.

Finally postive bright test!

Very Happy about this! Took this in the middle of the day. Hell I take one everyday since I have 20 left just to see the lines!

My little poppy seed! 3 weeks 3 days

My baby is about the size of a poppy seed. The egg has just made it's way to my uterus that is why I can have a positive pregnancy test this early. There are cells multiplying and the egg has burrowed it's way into my uterus. amniotic fluid is beginning to collect around your ball of cells in the cavity that will become the amniotic sac. This fluid will cushion your baby in the weeks and months ahead. Right now, your little blastocyst is receiving oxygen and nutrients (and discarding waste products) through a primitive circulation system made up of microscopic tunnels that connect your developing baby to the blood vessels in your uterine wall. The placenta won't be developed enough to take over this task until the end of next week.

How am I feeling? I am starting to have to run to the bathroom alot. I am feeling very tired. I also have nausea off and on. Eating is helping and I got my meds yesterday from the doctor.

I am pregnant! Overview of last cyle.

October 4th I found out I am pregnant! My reaction was shock. I never thought it would happen as fast as it did. I am in a group on cafemom full of women who have been trying to conceive for a year or more.I thought it would be hard for me too. Especially since we were trying to sway for a boy. That means we only had sex one time to get pregnant.

Here is how I found out. I was taking a test because I had to pee. I have been having horrible ingestion. Anyway., I took the test and left it in there. I layed on the couch. My husband went in there to get ready for work. He came out and I asked him if it was negative. He told me no it has a faint line. I wanted to see!! He showed me and I was shocked. You see I convinced myself that I was out this cycle. I did not want to get my hopes up. I did notice I was feeling nauseated a little before and after I ate. I even had a hard time finishing my chicken wrap because I felt sick. I also noticed that I could not eat anything without feeling bad.

So what is going on now? Well I am waiting for some anti nausea medication to be called in. I am three weeks and one day pregnant. I found out at 12 dpo. My last period was September 12th. My due date is June 19th.
