7w4d, 6 week review


From my weekly email (6 week):  This week's major developments: The nose, mouth, and ears that you'll spend so much time kissing in eight months are beginning to take shape. If you could see into your uterus, you'd find an oversize head and dark spots where your baby's eyes and nostrils are starting to form. His emerging ears are marked by small depressions on the sides of the head, and his arms and legs by protruding buds. His heart is beating about 100 to 160 times a minute — almost twice as fast as yours — and blood is beginning to course through his body. His intestines are developing, and the bud of tissue that will give rise to his lungs has appeared. His pituitary gland is forming, as are the rest of his brain, muscles, and bones. Right now, your baby is a quarter of an inch long, about the size of a lentil.

How far along? 7w4d
How big is baby? The size of a lentil or sweet pea
Symptoms? Still having to pee a lot.  Feeling some nausea when I am getting hungry.  Still bloated, but not as tired this week.
Weight gain/loss(166 starting point - yikes!)? 1 lb loss total, but have been making bad choice with food this week.  Lots of carbs…but they’re so good!
Stretch marks? None
Maternity clothing? Nope
Sleep?  Sleeping well, but averaging getting up to pee 3-4 times a night
Exercise? Pretty good week running. Started with 3 runs on Anna Maria. 
Cravings? None
Movement? No
Belly Button? Looks normal
What are you looking forward to this week? My body continuing to get used to pregnancy.  Hopeully hormones settle down a bit.
