6 weeks



Major milesone....Junior is 6 weeks today. In conjunction with the Olympics Opening Ceremony. *grin* On 8.8.08, no less. Very prosperous :)

Hubs and I went to Salvation Army today and I got like just about every pregnancy book they had there - titles like "What to expect when you're expecting", "what to expect in the first year", "Pregnancy Week by Week" - I mean, HUGE titles and authors that everyone recommends. And each paperback, no matter how thick, was 64 cents.

SIXTY FOUR CENTS!! For something that would cost like 20 bucks or more brand new. Granted, they're not the LATEST editions, but with the internet these days, does it even matter that much?

Anyway, I don't think I've got many full blown symptoms as yet, but i get a spot of nausea now and again.

Your Baby

This week starts a period of rapid cellular development for your baby-to-be, who looks like a mini tadpole, with a tiny head and tail. His or her eyes, ears and mouth have begun to form (though they're a little more Discovery Channel "creatures of the sea" documentary than Gerber Baby at this point).

Other exciting milestones include:

Your baby's heart is now beating to a regular beat, although it's still too faint to hear.

His or her arm buds are just beginning to, well, bud. They look like teensy swollen bumps at this point. In a few days, they'll resemble itsy-bitsy flippers.

Your baby has grown to ⅛ inch long—about the size of one of the chocolate sprinkles on your last cupcake (and your last ice cream cone, and your last sundae and your last giant cookie ... maybe there is something to those rumors about pregnancy cravings!).
