Today Spawner's spinal column is beginning to form and his/her heart is beginning to beat (although it wouldn't be detectable on an ultrasound until next week). Spawner still doesn't look like a baby though, he/she looks more like a tadpole but it's skeleton structure is beginning to form!
How far along: 5 weeks!
Size of baby: Appleseed
Total weight gain: 0
Sleep: Sleep is beautiful right now. I've been super tired lately and when I get to bed, it's heaven.
Best moment(s) of the past week: I'd say the best moment was today. I got "3+" on a Clearblue Digital test. This means my hcg (pregnancy hormone) level is higher than 2000, which means it's doubling like it should. I know this because last week I tested and it was "2-3". To get a "2-3" your hcg needs to be 200-2000. If my hcg was 200 last Wednesday, and it's supposed to double every two days, then today it should've been at least 2000. Dave and I knew today would be the day when we know either everything is going okay, or it's not. And THANKFULLY it seems to be! We are just ecstatic to be passing this milestone. Now on to the next...a heartbeat at an ultrasound!
Symptoms: Just waves of fatigue. Sometimes the fatigue is so strong I feel nauseous.
Food aversions: Nothing yet.
Cravings: Nothing yet.
Maternity clothes: Nope!
Movement: Not yet!
Boy or girl: ???? It's anyone's guess!
Wedding rings on or off: On
What do you miss: Coffee, still.
What are you looking forward to: Our ultrasound!
Emotions: Happy!
Next appt: April 1st, but I'm thinking about moving it to April 5th since I already have an appt that day and I can just take a vacation day from work.
Plans for the week: One more day of work and then it's a long weekend for me! The plan is to relax.
