Week 5

First off, I don't know who came up with how to count the weeks for pregnancy, but it's stupid. (Shane, please Wikipedia this for me) I guess I'm on week 5, but technically Baby has only been growing for about 3 weeks. Anyway, Baby is now the size of a grain of rice and looks like this:


The circulatory system and the neural tube(spine) is developing and the heart will start beating this week!

While Baby is just lounging around in fluid all day I get to look forward to: fatigue, nausea, cramping, breast tenderness, headache, frequent urination, backache and emotional upheaval (according to the books). No nausea yet, which is good and no backache, but I do wish I could take at least 4 naps a day and I have an endless supply of pee inside me it seems. I also have constant mild cramps and yeah, I'm not in a great mood (ask Shane). Aside from that, it is pretty unreal to think that Baby is growing inside of me right now, this very second he's in there! What is he doing?! Well, he's making a heart, what have you done today?
