Tomorrow I will officially be 6 weeks pregnant. I am happy to say I am no longer feeling nauseous. I think what I was feeling last week was a stomach bug. When I was pregnant with Wyatt I didn't start having crazy morning sickness until I was 6-7 weeks along and it lasted until my second trimester. I am curious to see if I get as sick as I did with my first pregnancy. With Wyatt I was throwing up almost everything I ate and I was totally exhausted by the 7th week. Right now I am feeling really good. I can only hope that continues! One new pregnancy symptom showed itself the other day...heartburn! It only came and went a couple times, nothing that made me feel like I needed to take something. I had so much heartburn in my first pregnancy and I overdid it on the tums. I had so much calcium carb (tums) in my first pregnancy that a month after I delivered I had a 6mm kidney stone. So I'll be avoiding tums this time around if I can help it.
Right now I am feeling a big anxious about my OB appointment this week. It is scheduled for Thursday and we are supposed to be getting a big snow storm. I will be really bummed if I have to make it for a later date. I have been so excited about that first appointment and I want to see my baby on ultrasound for piece of mind. I guess I'll just have to wait and see what happens this week.
According to babycenter.com this is how my baby is developing this week!
"Eyes are becoming more defined with the lenses appearing now. The brain continues to become more detailed and complex. Other organs taking shape include the kidneys and liver. The hands and feet have webbed structures that will become the fingers and toes eventually. The intestines are starting to grow, however they are not located inside the baby yet, but rather are growing inside the umbilical cord at this point. Your baby is now ½ inch long!"
